For all those who yearn for freedom, there's a Federal Officer with your "best interest" at heart (and an automatic weapon at your chest).

Klintoon and Kastro

I was living in Miami when this happened. Jackboot Janet's boss paid for it dearly in 2000. My precint went 73% for Bush thanks largely to anger over Elian.

She said a black-garbed agent wearing a mask

What was this mask stuff?

This trial needs to ID the agents by name and where they work.

This is nothing compared to what the Buchanan/Tancredo anti-immigrant crowd wants to do.

They would bring our troops back from Iraq to go door-to-door at businesses and homes looking for illegal immigrants.

I hope Clinton and Janet Reno are included in that trial as defendants.

I wonder if Bill will have secret service protection if he winds up in the can.

Whether it was Elian or Waco, ClintonCo. used more force on American citizens than they ever did on those who were America's real enemies. Think about it...after the first WTC attack in 1993, it was Christians who were assaulted at Waco while the Islamofacists were afforded all the privlidges of our laws. And instead of busting down doors of suspected terrorists in this country (which we now know existed), federal agents were busy knocking down the door of a Miami family.

The raid took place after the family refused to return the boy so he could be taken back to Cuba.

And the wacko democrats call GWB's followers fascist's? LOL

Good point. There was a group that INFURIATED the leftist national press when they converged on a counting room. It was, basically, a 'remember-the-raid' group of Cubans and supporters. A "mob" they were - unruly, violent, gun-toting, bomb-throwing leftis. . . er, Cubans, er, well, and the LM continued to try and portray these folks as if they were just your garden variety desperate Dem on the rampage, as with this 2004 election and all the breakins and vandalism of GOP HQs around the country.

I think that little demonstration resulted in a fairer count, at least in that area. If you'll also recall the Dem lust for chads, there was this Jewish woman who achieved prominence, and her place in history, by counting anything and everything put in front of her for - Gore. Four years ago, I know. But I also remember.

Yeah, we should just let them all stay. We need the cheap labor.

Returning this child to "Uncle Fidel" was child cruelty and Janet Reno should be tried for that crime along with her/his boss, EX-Pres Clintoon. Cuba is nothing but child abuse central. I hope these friends and neighbors and family of little Elian win their lawsuits. The Government was waaaaay out of line on this one.

Bayou, there is a big difference between refugees from Communism who have their own mutual aid support network (Cubans) and those who merely cross the border because there be no work in Puebla this year.

Those agents could have gone to the door with no weapons and have gotten that child out of there. Do you really think that those folks would shoot Federal Agents?

Janet had a drama mentality. Waco, Ruby Ridge, Elian are all excellent examples of it.

They wouldn't have to if the authorities would simply fine the companies hiring the illegals for slave wages which drives the wages down for all and runs reputable companies out of state or out of business.

Sometimes it's hard to determine whether to laugh at you or seek medical care for you.

I don't know of any anti-illegal immigrant folks who think what happened to Elian was right.

For the record we don't advocate busting down the doors of homes to find illegal immigrants either.

We do advocate businesses who employ illegals to be raided, if there is common knowledge that they are breaking the law. Any illegals found should be returned to their nation of origion, and the business owner prosecuted.

Illegal immigration is a crime as defined by the laws of the United States. Most conservatives I know advocate enforcement of our nation's laws.

Only DU, democrats, socialists, leftists, terrorists and a few others advocate our laws be ignored.

Yes, immigration is a good thing, WHEN REGULATED.

Who are we kidding here? This will end up like all the other cases in this vein. No one will go to jail or even get called on the carpet in a major way.
