Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer released the following statement demanding that immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) release information about the raids that happened this past week:
"Reports that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) targeted non-violent immigrant families over the past week are deeply disturbing. Undocumented immigrants live in fear, and they are confused and scared.“
“I am troubled by the lack of transparency and potential due process violations surrounding ICE’s most recent enforcement actions. That is why I’m calling on ICE to release information about the location of the raids and details of the people who were arrested.”
“Targeting law-abiding innocent immigrant families whose only wrongdoing was crossing the border to give their children a better life, instead of focusing on removing those who have been convicted of violent crimes, is a waste of limited resources and undermines law enforcement in communities across the country. ICE must come clean.”
“I have always supported smart immigration enforcement that helps to keep our country safe, but raids targeting law-abiding immigrants and treating those with traffic violations the same as murderers and robbers will only achieve the opposite.”

Funny, I am watching Laugh In right now on TV...
Not the one with Nixon saying “sock it to me”...
Remind me...
...where was Shumer’s OUTRAGE in 2011 when 0bama deported 7,500 dangerous, violent illegals?
*Crickets Chirping*
Illegal aliens mustn’t be too frightened if they’re still here. Apparently more frequent and larger raids are needed.
So Scummer would only deport known violent illegals.
Well, Scummer, violence comes in many forms.
It comes in the form of the drug pusher, the drug mule, the drug cartel operative.
It comes in the form of the terrorist who has not yet acted.
It comes in the form of the habitual DUI offender.
It comes in the form of the thief, the burglar, and the robber, who steals a families fortune and chances for life.
It comes in the form of the kidnapper. It comes in the form of the pedophile. It comes in the form of the insane.
IT COMES, SENATOR SCUMMER, IN THE FORM OF THE CULTURAL ASSASSIN, THE MAN OR WOMAN WHO IS HERE TO CHANGE AMERICA, TO SEEK THE AZTLAN, TO SEEK TO STEAL AMERICA’S SOUL FROM HER VERY SOIL.
If they were not in our country illegally they would not be in fear.
Perhaps they should go home.
If we have to deport them, they will have to wait 10 years to apply to do it the right way.
Making it no fun to be an illegal alien again.
hahahahah. Someone thinks they are in the majority. Do you want rape enforcement data to to make sure we are being kind to the nice rapists? I wish there was a Senate version of Trump to shut this idiot up
“I have always supported smart immigration enforcement that helps to keep our country safe, but raids targeting law-abiding immigrants and treating those with traffic violations the same as murderers and robbers will only achieve the opposite.”

That’s just BS. Law abiding immigrants are not being targeted, they have complied with the laws.
Illegal aliens are being targeted and some of those traffic violations are drunk driving.
Chuck Schumer wants to give them the chance to kill somebody before they are deported.
Hey, b******, what part of breaking the law do you not understand?
You are one pathetic SOB. You are the epitome of what’s wrong with politics and your party in particular.
GTHO
Suffering from a special kind of stupid.
Best to just ignore him, responding to idiocy only encourages more of it.
Fake news. Schumer has no power to demand; at best he can request. Politely, without bothering important people.
KHAN NOONIEN SINGH: “You are in a position to demand *nothing*. I, on the other hand, am in a position to *grant* nothing.”
We need to get the skinny on this despicable human
Rightly so, they're criminals!
...targeting law-abiding immigrants...
Now, Chuck, that's not very nice. You know the difference between undocumented immigrants and law-abiding immigrants! Stop trying to make them out to be the same thing because it's unbecoming of you as a sitting Senator.
And you look foolish doing it too.
We are winning.
They have shifted their language from “law abiding” to “non-violent”.
They got nuthin’.
Only wrongdoing was breaking in to our country without permission.
************************************
That’s false.
They must be working illegally.
Using fraudulent documents illegally.
Collecting benefits illegally.
Illegal aliens MUST break multiple laws DAILY in order to stay here.
There are NO “otherwise law-abiding” illegal aliens.
There are millions that just haven’t been caught and prosecuted.
How about releasing his bank account info? Tax info? His houses......how did he purchase them? All financial info since he has been in senate....let us start there.
Sure release info on the murderers and drug dealers that are here illegally....I am good with that. How about releasing how much cash they get each month from obama years? $1500 plus medical and homes...lets release that info too.
“Targeting law-abiding innocent immigrant families whose only wrongdoing was crossing the border to give their children a better life, instead of focusing on removing those who have been convicted of violent crimes, is a waste of limited resources and undermines law enforcement in communities across the country. ICE must come clean.”
If they are here illegally, they are not law - abiding.
Sure Chuck. We will give you an update once a month starting with Feb. 2009.
BTW...if they have a wrongdoing (hint...hint...like entering America illegally) then they're neither law-abiding nor innocent.
