a) Yes, this is too bad and something should be done.
b) Here comes the Dem talking points on "those horrible republicans who want to split up families."

Come here legally and you wont be putting your children through this. Enough with the anchor babies. Time to change that ridiculous law.

And we are also very upset because the agents chose one of the most sacred days for Mexicans: the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
HERE WE GO! Ethnic insensitivity for arresting them on a Mexican holy day? WHat is next? No counterterrorism operations during the ramadan?

"And we are also very upset because the agents chose one of the most sacred days for Mexicans: the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe." "The bankrobber was very upset because agents chose the sacred day of Christmas to apprehend him."

I used to have a lot of friends who smoked pot. Over the years those friends got older, had children and stopped smoking pot.
The reason they stopped smoking pot?
They put their children first and aren't going to risk getting arrested and imposing that situation on their children.

If the (immigration) agents had been planning this raid for a long time, why couldn't they wait a little longer, like January," he added. "They spoiled our Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe and our Christmas."Boo-frickin-Hoo.

"I've been here for 47 years and I've never seen anything like this," said the 65-year-old Mexican immigrant. "And we are also very upset because the agents chose one of the most sacred days for Mexicans: the Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.". It's something Mexicans celebrate in Mexico. Maybe ICE wanted to make sure these Mexicans got back to their country on time for the celebrations?

Man I wish I could get away with these sorts of excuses the next time I get a traffic ticket!
"But it's my saint's day!"
"If I don't speed I won't be able to make it to work on time!"
"Who will care for my kids who I purposefully endangered by breaking the law?"
Pathetic. Deport every last one of these illegals and prosecute everyone who knowingly hires them to the fullest extent of the law.

...what is going to happen to the more than 100 children whose parents were rounded up and arrested? Perhaps this is one of the things they should have thought about when they decided to sneak into this country illegally. The bad news is the you and I will likely end up paying for their support one way or the other.

Leave my country, please. That includes the future gangbangers you got at home.

How about a simple suggestion.
Sell all your stuff at a garage sale

Celebrate saints day in mexico with your family

We really need to do something about birthright citizenship so these children can be reunited with their parents in Mexico.

Well it is obvious then. It's the evil capitalist meat packing plant that forced them to work on a sacred holy day. Death to America!
Didn't the feds warn them they were coming? Sounds like a setup so the media can push its amnesty agenda on us.

This is Rudy Guliani's approach to crime in NYC: arrest even the smallest offenders, and pretty soon everything gets cleaned up. The point about immigration all along was that we didn't have to deport 12 million. Just deport a few, and the rest will get the message; and put a few employers in jail, and the rest will comply with the laws.

I think this is hilarious! This is typical of the MSM. Let's just blow past the whole 'Here illegally' part, and the part about STEALING SOMEONE ELSES IDENTITY.
It's all about the kids of the criminals that got sent away. Here's a tip, send them home too.
