Swap meet vendors say Fresno City Councilmember Miguel Arias’ comments about an immigration raid that never occurred cost them business.

Now, they want the council to sanction their colleague while also calling for Arias to resign.

During the June 12 council meeting, Arias said from the dais that a “massive immigration raid” would take place at the Cherry Avenue Auction that weekend.

“So I would advise our immigrant community that they should stay away from the Cherry Auction this weekend, as they would put themselves and their families in the most vulnerable position to be picked up and taken out of the country without due process, as has been clearly documented in our state,” Arias said.

No raid took place, and operators of the swap meet have since said that business has fallen off.

Susana Osuna, a vendor, delivered 46 signed letters to City Hall, KMPH reported.

“We are asking Mr. Arias to be legally compelled to make a public apology and to acknowledge that he never had any information that ICE was going to execute a raid, or legally compelled to publicly reveal his source who told him they would….

Is it wrong to feed false ICE raid information to illegal alien community?

LOL! Mexicans are just like Chicongoans. They can’t trust other Mexicans. This is good stuff.

I just don’t understand why, in these days of lawlessness in America, why the hell can’t we give the illegals a “due process” IOU that they can use when they return to their home countries?

“Fresno City Councilmember Miguel Arias’ comments about an immigration raid that never occurred cost them business.”

.

OK, I am fairly certain that ICE could be persuaded to go ahead and perform the MASSIVE immigration raid.

They will not get any advanced warning, however.

Excellent.

Make sure to install ICEblock on your cell phone and report raids, anonymously, all over where illegals are know to be. Soccer games, car shows, and begging corners are especially fruitful. No peace for them. If they want that, they can go back to their home country.

ICE should then advertise 48 or 60 raids every weekend, all across southern California.

And NJ, NY and Illinois.

Do fakes until you see they no longer believe the warnings... then do a real raid!

the cash they can get and return back home.

Translation - Swap meet vendors love illegal aliens spending their money with them and not their competition.
