Go to the Immigration Daily article, they have a link to the DesMoines Register story that we can't directly provide here.

agents undermined the public's trust in government

More like "agents undermined the illegal aliens trust in the government doing nothing about their presence in the US".

saying agents undermined the public's trust in government

When the government ignores laws and law breakers (criminals) - just how does that build the public's trust in government...?

Both the Governor and the National Guard Clown should not call themselves Americans.

It makes my Day when these raids and more of them arrest thousands of Illegal Aliens.

Read "America Alone", By Mark Steyn and read what Unchecked immigration can do to a country !!!!

Cut out all Federal Funds to this State and any other that supports Illegal Aliens.

[Ben Ficklin]

Let's see now.

If they detained 1300 and 5% were being held on felony charges, that would be 65.

Since those 65 felonies included illegal re-entry, we don't know how many are being held for id theft.

Lots of smoke, but not much fire.

I think it's time to get a new Top Officer of the Iowa National Guard.

[LadyNavyVet]

I bet the legal Iowans lining up to get those jobs don't find the raids unacceptable.

[colonialhk]

This brings pork barrel to a new low!

[reagan_fanatic]

Governor Ballsack's position on these raids is completely understandable since he is running for President and will have to whore out for every possible vote he can (including illegals.)

After the Primary's over with, he'll be lucky if even his Wife and kids remembered that he ran. I guess that's the price you pay when you have the personality of a fence post and the charisma of a corpse.

Gov. Ballsack is going to do well with the KosNazis with anti-American positions like this.

and could have compromised undercover operations

if we were actually RUNNING any of those, which of course we weren't......

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

This is validation for my comments that the rich and powerful want illegal aliens here to make millions off of them via cheap labor and sales of housing/goods to them. They simply do not care about those of us who were born here and have been living here for years paying taxes.

Unacceptable? Not to these folks.

Workers Line Up To Fill Meat-Processing Plant Vacancies After Raids

Gee, looks like Americans want those jobs after all....

[William Terrell]

I'm upsetbecause Swift & Co executives weren't arrested.

[FlashBack]

This Iowan isn't upset by the arrests, but I've heard that they had a 'heads-up' that this was coming and hundreds avoided getting caught and that's upsetting!
I also recall something about Vilsak making Iowa more easily accessable to what amounts to illegals a few years back too...any other Iowans remember any of the details??
