Thread: Lightning-strike raids in DHS end with 120 arrested in CA.

I lived in Palm Springs, not far from DHS and I am thrilled. Now they need to go into Choachella, Indio, Mecca etc. I use to work in Indio in a grocery store and a person from Canada asked if he was still in the USA.

But remember these gangs had a "decades-long" grip. So what took the authorities so long to smash them??

And I don't think Napolitano will whine too much about this raid, as it was against gangs (that were apparently at least in part comprised of illegals).

What I want to see are enforcement actions against employers who are hiring IAs. The law is the law -- whether against dangerous gangs or shady employers hiring illegal aliens.

How about it Janet?

I can hardly wait to see the spin LaRaza and the other OBL's put on this,should be entertaining.

Doing jobs Americans won't do? No, wait, the raid was because of RAAACISM.

You're right, this was a gang raid, not an illegal alien raid. Lord knows Napolitano would never allow the raid to be characterized as an illegal alien raid. The employers of illegal and their employees are still relatively safe in California's 478 incorporated cities.

Hmm..the Obama administration is big on semantics. Why cannot we simply increase( more like continue) immigration raids on those businesses ( and the invaders working at such businesses) under the guise of conducting gang raids.

After all, illegal invaders are essential working to unlawful ends when they use stolen and or fradulent identification to usurp jobs from American citizens. It may be a stretch, but that has not seemingly bothered the Obama administration thus far.

In the wake of Friday's unprecedented police sweep in Desert Hot Springs, officials across the Coachella Valley are hoping to see an overall decline in criminal activity that reaches far beyond one city.
