Raids benefit U.S. citizens

Ken Siverts - Glendale, Ariz.

Commentary writer Raul Reyes asked: "What are ICE raids accomplishing?"

Why Reyes would condemn the Immigration and Customs Enforcement for rounding up lawbreakers at the Agriprocessors plant in Iowa is beyond me. Now that the illegal immigrants are gone, Agriprocessors brought in U.S. citizens from Texas to work. If only ICE could have rounded up some of the management of the meat plant for hiring the illegal immigrants, there would be less likelihood that other employers would do the same thing.

As for racial profiling, I'm sure that Reyes will report to us the details of the arrests. I would be willing to bet that all arrested were here illegally, taking the jobs of U.S. citizens.

ICE employees are doing the job that our Congress won't do. They're putting Americans back to work.

If Reyes doesn't want to thank them, I will.

God Bless ICE!

If the feds get more complaints from people in every city about illegals working maybe we can get more raids.
