I thought the same thing, wondering if the owner was even legal, but wouldn’t he have been part of the last (and we were told final) “amnesty?”

The ICE Man cometh!

About 8 years late for Jose now that he has a handful of anchor babies.

Could the reporters, Matt O’Brien and Jeanine Benca, please ask Mr Sanchez the obvious (to me) question? Whose SSN are you using in order to work in this country? I’m sure whomevers SSN it is would like to have a word with you about the lovely time they have had trying to fix the damage you have caused them by stealing their identity.

all but 10 of the 63 El Balazo workers arrested earlier in the day had been allowed to go home to await future immigration hearings

Catch and release has worked so well in the past, right? Wanna bet those folks have changed ID's and are already working two blocks down?

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

Um, this is San Francisco so Carole may have started out being Carl.

“A lot of times it saddens me to see these conflicting approaches toward the issue of illegal immigration because we would not have this problem if the federal government had carried out its responsibilities,” McCain said Monday during a Cinco de Mayo news conference in Phoenix.

You know times are hard at ICE when they have to resort to raiding taquerias and donut shops.

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.

I bet most families are sad when their criminal relatives are arrested.

“Assuming Carole is a woman’s name”
