Has anyone dared to compare the number of these raids to the ones during Zippys long 8 years?

Saw an article yesterday that said ICE had done the same thing, resulting in some 3-4000 apprehended a couple of years. 2012 and 2015, IIRC

Of course, the difference being, that Obama just let most of them go, including the violent ones

If they are gripped with fear, will Walmart be empty when I visit later today and are they packing in preparation of heading home to Mexico? If not, then this is media hype, media's effort to stop President Trump before illegal aliens are really affected.

A few dozen rounded up here and there do not amount to much. Consider that if there is only 12 million illegal aliens in the US as we've been told for 12-15 plus years, to get rid of them over the next two years means over 16,000 deported EVERY DAY. If 30 million, a more realistic low count, that is over 41,000 per day, and if as many as 60 million, which some groups suggest, that is over 83,000 deported every day.

The depth of our problem is sobering. Killing off the jobs through programs like e-Verify and prosecution of employers hiring illegal aliens will help.

There are families of illegal aliens that even now are packing up and leaving daily for the Mexican border.

I really do hope that's the case, but I don't think we're going see a real exodus until the President begins depriving them of jobs, and turns off the welfare spigot.

Immigrants aren’t worried, they comply with the laws.

Illegal aliens should be worried, we finally are getting some enforcement.

My wife is an immigrant, and I doubt she even is aware of "Trump's deportation force."

Of course, she's a legal immigrant, who went through the naturalization process and is now a citizen of the United States.

I don't know for certain, but I'm pretty sure she voted for Trump.

Well they demanded to be catered to; to receive free welfare benefits, free food, free healthcare to deliver all their babies, free college, etc...that we all had to slave for to pay the taxes to fund these programs. Then they didn't pay any taxes in and basically about bankrupted the system so the taxpayers who slaved to pay for their benefits couldn't receive them. Then they turned into major smartasses and gave us the finger at La Raza activist rallies and acted like there was nothing we could do about them as they streamed over our borders in mass numbers because they were emboldened by the false Muslim traior president who stole our tax dollars to transport them all over the nation to turn it "browner" and even stated so. Then the La Razans started talking shit about us telling us they wanted to kill the Gringos, and that our days were numbered. On top of that they said they were going Reconquista on us to take back several states...

And they wonder why there fellow Mexican felons and undesirables are being deported?? Ae they serious or just plain stupid? They deserve everything they're getting (the La Razan variety)...

They had better make a run for the border before the Ice-Man Cometh!

I hope this makes the illegal aliens among us very very very uncomfortable. They’ve been freeloading here for far too long.

“America’s immigrant community”

For the one millionth time ... immigrants have nothing to worry about.
Foreign nationals here illegally do have something to worry about.
