The following year, Sandoval opened a second El Balazo on Market Street in San Ramon.

Ah, so that's where I'd heard of this outfit before. They're over by the San Ramon library there.

"A lot of our municipalities are feeling these are improper invasions," said state Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE

But then the woman, he said, asked for a bathroom key and disappeared. Soon after, Sanchez said, the restaurant was stormed by uniformed agents who closed off the establishment and began questioning all the workers inside.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

I wonder....

Would these protesters picket outside of a Las Vegas casino if a Mexican national put money down on a roulette table and then lost it? Would they call that unfair and mean-spirited? I think not.
Yet, the situation for Jose Luis Sanchez is exactly the same. As an illegal alien, he took his livelihood, laid it down and gambled with it. He gambled and he lost.
If you can't afford to lose, don't gamble.

“My kids are sad,” said the 32-year-old San Pablo resident, one of 63 illegal immigrants employed by the 11-restaurant chain who were arrested Friday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “They want to know if they’re going to send me to Mexico.”

Keep this family together! Send them ALL to Mexico!

"My kids are sad,"

I'm pretty sure that you have a Constitutional right against that.

They damned well should be "sad." Their @sshat father jeopardized his entire family's continued happiness and security... all because he opted to knowingly commit a criminal act, rather than entering this country legally.

Awwwwwww.

That left a welt so bad, I felt it all the way over here. ;)

“A lot of our municipalities are feeling these are improper invasions,” said state Sen. Carole Migden, D-San Francisco”

That statement takes a lot of ballz or no damned brains at all.

[ASA Vet]

Being a humane nation and people we should provide the criminal invaders free air flights home.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

She said that the raids violate San Francisco's desire to be a "safe haven community" for undocumented immigrants.

Too friggin' bad! Let's do it again!

Catapult?

[Republicus2001]

why DON’T these people just use their REAL identity in America instead of stealing from others?

[hdstmf]

Sandoval, who was born in Mexico, moved to Alameda with his family when he was a toddler.

Were his parents illegal immigrants? If so, it is implied he was a toddler when they came to America. If so he not here legally since he would not have been an anchor baby. ICE should certainly check this out.

Assuming Carole is a woman's name, we are left with only the latter.
