The Department of Homeland Security tells WBAL News that Jones Industrial Network is the only company targeted in this investigation. The other companies were the arrests took place contracted with Jones Industrial Network for workers.

WA-HOO! What took so long?!

I wish it were more, but it's great they got 50.

I hope they continue to raid businesses across America and send a message to others who hire them.

My question is, "How do we know this is for real or is it just for show?"

DW, I was going to post the exact same thing.
Once the STRIVE bill is passed (if God forbid it does)
What do you want to bet things are going to go right back to the way it has always been.
They are faking us out. And I am not buying it.

We don't. For real has'nt been a part of our government for quite some time. It is probably a throw the dog a bone thing but I am still glad to see it happen. If it is meant to appease and back us off , that will not work we are way too motivated with anger for that to happen!

Now all we need is for those silly buggers to march again to get even more Americans fired up.

Exactly, we should be seeing 100 x this kind of thing. The executives of the company need to be brought up on treason charges.
