(CBS4) DORAL The US Department Of Homeland Security sweet a Doral flower warehouse in search of illegal aliens Thursday morning.

People were handing over their identification cards as police were running it through computers. Even a Channel 23 videographer covering the incident was checked out, even though he has been a US Citizen for more than 20 years. Univision 23 management said they want an investigation into the matter.

Border patrol and immigration conducted their morning roundup at the facility located at NW 70th Avenue and 18th St. All of this taking place while Washington focuses on the senate's immigration reform bill which will be up for discussion on May 14th, kicked off with Majority Leader Harry Reid.

Proposals are trying to resolve what to do about the roughly 12 million illegal immigrants already in the country and whether to legalize their status as long as they pass a background check and pay large fines.
