Ice Raids are routine enforcement?

560 arrested in 12 states.
There aren't even warrants served but
simple profiling to drag away immigrants that can not defend themselves. Children!

The process should reflect the values of the majority of "the people".

You can't scream and shout about promoting freedom and democracy all around a reluctant globe when you're not willing to extend basic human decency in your own back yard.

Thank God! Now Pedro won't make enough money to adequately feed his kids tonight. Yay. Now Maria, who works three jobs with two of them in the US won't have the means to care for her diabetic child. Yay. Now Charlie can't get back to the only high school he's found that actually teaches a future. Yay. Now there are no more gas-powered engines. Or fruit. Or clean laundry. Or buildings. Or the right medical specialist. Or the child who will one day colonize Mars or cure cancer.

Yeah, illegal immigration is just that, but it's also not murder. And yes, many people were targeted for criminal histories. Keep in mind, though, that unprosecuted murder and petit larceny are both criminal histories but exists at opposite ends of the spectrum. We give every single citizen a chance to turn his or her life around without judging them on their legal past. Why would we not extend our sacred arm of democracy and mercy to others? You don't convict and deport people for crimes they may one day commit. Not this week.

Want to stop illegal immigration? Fix the system, make the process better and more efficient. Rarely do people commit a crime when the legal option is just as simple.

As america continues to breed it's own army of armed nutcases...non space for immigrants though!

Can I award you "best response"?
It also makes the US corporate class billions. Part of why the US will never have a straightforward immigration process is because the wealthiest make billions off of keeping people in limbo in detention centres. Much like Penitentiaries they make billions off of them through prison industries. It is not new slave labour.
@Pfuzylogic: I knew about the racket particularly in private prisons but I was quite shocked when I saw a documentary that exposed how it is just as bad if not worse in the immigration detention system. They also showed how people use the system to maximize the amount of time even innocent people are detained so they can profit off of them. It is sad.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow: Lack of monitoring by human right activists. I don't see any improvement soon.
@Pfuzylogic: It is also easier to exploit people who don't know the law, their rights, or speak the language well. It all makes for a nasty recipe.

That's the truth. They're routine enforcements.

@Pfuzylogic: There are wrongful convictions already.

@tilagirl: There would be many more, "lynch mobs" which the ICE teams remind me of.

@Pfuzylogic: That's your view.

From what I've read, most of them have had criminal records. There are a lot of illegals, and we need to start taking things seriously or there will be no way to go back. Hopefully more of them notice this and decide to do things the legal way while there's still time.

It was before! That's like saying our massive debt isn't a problem because nobody cared about it before. It's a huge problem!
