ICE Raids Getting Flack

Mon Nov 10, 2008 at 09:06:13 AM

You’d think that deporting felons would get you a round of applause. Well, not if you’re in Houston.

Local U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials announced last week that they returned almost 15,800 undocumented workers to their home countries during the last fiscal year. Of those, 48% had previous criminal convictions. ICE’s Director of Detention and Removal Operations in the Houston district confirmed that the agency’s increased are raids aimed at getting “criminal aliensâ€

They are only getting a lot of flack from a few idiots like Lorenzo Cano. The majority of people in Houston applaud ICE's efforts to clean this city of all the criminals that sneak into this country.

The Houston Press is another one of those liberal rags that is so badly writtten that it is given away at bus stops.

Note the coloumnist Olivia Flores Alvarez who gives her opinion against Cano is Latina

That's because U.S. citizens and legal residents, like ALIPACER's, come in many colors, from many national backgrounds, and all are promised the right to express a "diversity of opinion" under our Constitution.

But how do we protect ourselves against criminal immigrants – the murderers, thieves, rapists that are among the 15,800 ICE just picked up – if human rights advocates want us to have a moratorium on all raids? onate? Understanding? I don’t know … we’ve never been very good at that when it came to felons.

Exactly!!!! It's not like these people are totally innocent... they broke the law when they jumped the border. They knew what they were doing was illegal, so when they get picked up they have NO ONE to blame but themselves.
