That appears pretty straightforward to me. He's specifically saying that the interior enforcement ops *will* occur again, but not when. Not saying when could be considered weaseling on the issue, but it could also be interpreted as not wanting to let the illegals know when the USBP was going to get its hunting liscense back.
He [Kobylt] slammed the official for not confirming that the roundups would continue. The host continued to pound on the roundup issue, but did not get the "yes or no" answer he was looking for.
"Yes or no, are you going to restart the border sweeps?" Kobylt pressed.
Responded Hutchinson: "We're going to continue the (emphasis mine) enforcement operations. They'll be coordinated between the Border Patrol and the ICE [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] agents. And that's the commitment that we make."
Hutchinson responding that USBP and ICE will continute *the* enforcement operations seems to me to indicate that, given the context of the conversation, that he's specifically talking about the interior sweeps. I, too, would have preferred if he'd said "Yes, we will continue interior enforcement," but this appears to me to be as close as you'll ever get a politician to come to "yes" or "no." Not that I'm putting it past him, necessarily, but it would be near-Clintonian parsing to try to make this say otherwise, I think.
Now, having said all this, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I re-read the article as you requested, and I didn't come to another conclusion. Would you mind showing me what led you to your conclusion? I suspect it may just be different interpretations of the same passage. I'm not trying to be a wise-@ss, I really just don't see it. Thanks!
You're right - we've got different interpretations. I don't believe that he's going to re-start the interior sweeps because he didn't specifically say he was. Add to that the fact that the head of the Temecula office is suddenly gone, and I am extremely skeptical.
Of course, if you consider the source (me) combined with this issue, even if Asa said he was going to start up the sweeps, I'd still want to see it first...
