If you throw a net into the sea there’s no telling what ‘fish’ you’re going to catch until you actually bring it up onto the boat — that’s where the sorting takes place. What is ICE supposed to do? Only suit-up for a raid if they know absolutely beforehand that ALL people in a given place & time are criminal aliens? That’s an impossibly high standard for police work.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I will bet that that has happened more than once.

Sounds just like Obama’s military ROE.

[TheNext]

No. Let the bad illegals remain until the end.

That makes it easier to get them all out.

Never give up your ammo or favorable position. This is war. Best lession learned from election is few people understand winning. People have been beaten down for decades.

I think it makes more sense to eliminate their muscle first.

Indeed. Every illegal in college has taken a spot from an American dreamer.

From Wikipedia:

DACA was formally initiated by a policy memorandum sent from Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano to the heads of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The memo formally directed them to exercise their enforcement discretion on behalf of individuals who met the requirements.

DACA is not law.

If these ‘dreamers’ are truly afraid, there would be a dust cloud visible from the ISS, heading south. When that is announced, I’ll know we are making progress.

Hundreds is not enough.

You have to start somewhere. Hundreds in the first sweep will naturally lead to thousands, then millions. It's coming one way or another.

And now Reuters reports that at least one person still detained had been granted legal permission to stay and work in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Child Arrivals program, or DACA.

DACA was never authorized by law, so this does not constitute "legal permission".
