I maintain that even if our Federal Government had made a half hearted but visible effort at workplace raids and deportations it would have shown the illegal alien population who was in charge. After all we know that every time they did conduct a rare workplace raid in the past, the people scattered like flies in fear of being caught, or would keep their kids home from school etc.

If they had conducted themselves in this manner, we probably wouldn't have seen illegal immigration get to the levels it has as there would have been a continuous element of fear that would have influenced some people not to come.

Now we've enabled these people to populate our country in such great numbers that I'm afraid they may have the upper hand. Why were there no arrests during these massive rallies? They feared it would turn into a riot if they made arrests so they had a hand's off policy.

Now they are so bold and last weekends events have given them the confidence that any type of enforcement will probably bring them out in force.

Our Fedral Government has cut off it's own nose to spite it's face!
