ST. LOUIS -- Federal investigators early this morning swept through a 24-hour professional cleaning service company and found five people who agents say were working and living in St. Louis illegally.

The workers at the cleaning service were working at 24-hour fitness centers in the overnight hours, said Carl Rusnok, spokesman for the Immigration and Customs Enforment agency (known as ICE).

I read this the other day and it makes sense to me since the powers that be want to get amnesty through any way possible.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/5716412.html
“Kevin Lachus, a former Immigration and Customs Enforcement attorney, expects worksite investigations and immigration raids to increase significantly across the U.S. and especially in Houston.

As a government attorney, Lachus was involved in sweeping raids on the Swift & Company packing plants in 2006.

He and others say stepped-up worksite enforcement raids are part of a Department of Homeland Security strategy to force a revival of last year’s failed effort to reform the nation’s immigration laws. The idea is that disruptions caused by raids would unite business interests and immigration hard-liners to convince legislators to reconsider immigration reform.”

The scumbag that hired them should be standing before a judge as well.

BFD!

If the $%&%$#&^% were serious about rounding up illegal aliens - they could round up THOUSANDS within hours.

Don’t try to tell me this is a serious effort.
It’s an affront to the intelligence of those whose I.Q. is larger than their waist size..

ICE is a freaking disaster and horrific waste of MONEY.

If ICE were serious about rounding illegals up — I’ll give them some clues:

1. Check out the customers at Wal-Mart or K-Mart in ANY Kalifornicate location.

2. Tour the parking lots of Home Depot, Paint Stores, Lumber yards and Landscape/Garden supply businesses.

3. Go to ANY road, building or home construction site in America.

4. Go to ANY “barrio” in Kalifornicate..

5. Go to ANY fruit, vegetable, meat processing or packing plant.

6. Go to the long distance Bus Terminals.

7. Go to the Federal/State/City welfare offices.

8. Go to the Emergency Room of any large hospital.

That should fill the capacity of ALL trucking/buses in America to ferry folks to the border..

When they’re finished - I can easily lead them by the nose to the next place to check..

ICE is the most horribly missioned, managed and incompetent Government agency of my LIFETIME — and that’s saying something!

Did the local democrat leader show up with absentee ballots for them? The rat will need all the help he can get in Missouri.
