A recent series of raids by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) service, which is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, signals a new era of anti-immigrant hysteria in America.

In September in the New York City suburb of Nassau County, ICE undertook a massive raid to capture gang members. It declared the raids a success, claiming that of the 186 arrested, 157 were gang members or associates.

However, county executive Thomas Suozzi denounced the raid, insisting that only “eight were active gang members and one is a gang associate." He added, "The result was that many wrong residential addresses were raided, and in one instance, ICE sought a 28-year-old defendant using a photograph taken when he was [a] seven year old boy.â€

Excuse me, but the CORRECT terminology is NOT "anti-immigrant," it is "anti-ILLEGAL-immigration!"

Thank you. I happen to be very pro immigrant! matter of fact I LOVE MY IMMIGRANT. It is the illegals I take issue with. It is my pet peeve when people do not differentiate between the two.

I still think this is too soft of an approach, and that we should do an "Operation w e t b a c k 2008".

It worked extremely well in the 50's when Eisenhower did it. Learn from history follks.
