ICE ping!

Could say 'it's a start', but it isn't a drop in the ocean.

Tip of the iceberg!

This is a good start.

"...agents from the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Department of Labor Inspector General, and FBI..."

Forget hiring more Border Patrol and hire a ton of these guys. Start putting some compliance generating fear into the hearts of these employers, therefore forcing higher "citizen level wages" for these jobs, and the illegals will stop coming.

To quote Kosh:

"And so, it begins."

I hope.

Well, I'm happy now. They seem to have caught everyone involved in this charade.

Back to Oprah.

""Worksite enforcement is a crucial piece of the department's Secure Border Initiative," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff."

Well...duh..

Look! See!

That's what this is...a looksee operation. They've busted this Vietnamese illegal alien operation, so we're supposed to think they're doing their job. And they are, but not frequently enough, in my opinion.

But...Look! See!

We have 11-30 million illegals in this country and the arrest of 6 makes news! rofl!!!!!
How telling is that.

[Think free or die]

At least a little good news on the enforcement front.

I just spent a chunk of my day drafting letters to my senators, congresswoman, and GOP (national and state organizations) to insist that they show some backbone against illegal immigration. It feels futile sometimes, but putting it on paper (or electrons . . . ) at least helps me to put my thoughts together so I can answer my kids' questions more intelligently!

The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers
inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists'
abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees.
Here's an interesting new thread on new legal reform progress that finally
emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the
neighborly thing to do?

Smuggling Ring Bust Ping!

Asians and Arabs. What a combo...

Heard on Fox that some of the illegals paid up $25,000-$35,000 to enter the US. Does this sound like a poor person coming to wash dishes? It sounds like some Al Queda money to me, being used to place terrorists where they want them for the next attack on this country, though of course, the Fox piece said the government didn't think this had anything to do with terrorists. Will any of us be shocked when it becomes obvious that they have lied to us?
