[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely support this.  People need to follow rules and go through proper processes.  this is for all of our safety and the safety of your children.[/quote]

You're ignorant. There is no reason to go door to door and "randomly" stopping Latinos to ask for papers. There's no reason to deport people who have been living peacefully in our country since they were children. That does not help our safety.[/quote]

Try reading the article before setting up your very own strawman.[/quote]

Maybe a bit exaggerated but:
"Immigration officials confirmed that agents this week raided [b]homes[/b] and workplaces in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, the Los Angeles area, North Carolina and South Carolina, netting hundreds of people. But Gillian Christensen, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), said they were part of “routine” immigration enforcement actions. ICE dislikes the term “raids,” and prefers to say authorities are conducting “targeted enforcement actions,” she said." (emphasis added)

Must say I liked the Orwellian element at the end. "It's not a raid -- those are mean and cruel, we're the nice people". What's that old saying about unknown animals and ducks?

Might also be worth pointing out the every authoritarian dictatorship as make the claim that these types of actions and control of the populate was "for the peoples' own good and was keeping them save." While there are a lot of people out there than can kick my ass very easily I'm much less afraid of them than I am of overbearing law and order governments and those who support them.[/quote]

Oh, please.  Did you feel the same “authoritarian” boot when Obama was president?  This is not new.  And, happened under Obama as well.

[quote]The Obama administration confirmed Monday that it began a new wave of arrests of Central American immigrant families over the weekend, moving forward with deportations of mothers and children despite an outcry from immigrant rights groups and potential political fallout for Democrats.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said in a statement that 121 people were taken into custody in Georgia, Texas and North Carolina in recent days and will soon face deportation.

"This past weekend, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) engaged in concerted, nationwide enforcement operations to take into custody and return at a greater rate adults who entered this country illegally with children," Johnson said. "This should come as no surprise. I have said publicly for months that individuals who constitute enforcement priorities, including families and unaccompanied children, will be removed."[/quote][/quote]
