Nantucket raids net 18 (illegal!) immigrants

NANTUCKET — In response to a request from local police, federal immigration agents conducted a series of early morning raids yesterday searching for illegal immigrants on a list of about 26 "hard targets," most of whom had committed crimes on the island, the Nantucket police said. "This was not a roundup of people here illegally," Police Chief William Pittman said. Of the 18 people arrested, 16 had criminal histories and six had been ordered removed from the country by an immigration judge, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. Two others were picked up because they were in the country illegally.

The raids occurred in several neighborhoods across the island, and the detainees were taken to Woods Hole on a Coast Guard cutter after being processed at the Nantucket police station. From Woods Hole, the detainees will be moved to state and county detention centers before removal from the country or an appearance before an immigration judge in Boston, ICE spokeswoman Paula Grenier said.

In the group were 15 men and three women from seven different countries, Grenier said. Because the detainees were arrested on administrative charges, their names will not be released, she said.

This was a great start. Five of the arrestees are big time drug dealers. The sheeple are in full bleat after this one, I assure you!

No need to round up the 20/30/40 million or so. Just keep up the pressure and they will go back on their own.

A drop in the sea of illegals, that is only occurring because the traitors want the “masses” to feel good about the politicians efforts of late. Where’s the Wall?

I assume that was the kennedy summer help?

"This was not a roundup of people here illegally," Police Chief William Pittman said. Of the 18 people arrested, 16 had criminal histories and six had been ordered removed from the country by an immigration judge, according to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials. Two others were picked up because they were in the country illegally.

LOL looks like this sheriff is scared for his job. My count says they were illegal but that is not poplar with kennedy and the other limousine liberals that want cheap summer help

Should I feel guilty about raising up Soros’s phone bill? [Toll free to senate 1-800-417-7666]. 7-666? Hm....

And as for that insane, treasonous immigration bill, why stop at defense? Why not a counteroffensive? I am calling my GOP senator [Warner] to not only oppose this treasonous bill, but I am also urging him to suggest to Trent Lott that his arrogance on this issue is offensive and that Lott should step down as Whip. If GOP senators realize that the fallout could threaten their leadership structure, that ought to wake them up to how serious we are.

Politicians will clean out their own parts of the Country,
but the rest of us have to live among 45,000,000 illegal aliens,
Yes, 45,000,000 is my estimate, taken from,
(3 X whatever Politicians say anything will cost the tax payer) + cost over-runs.
