Why, they are vacationing in Mexico! Fully paid travel and accommodations, and plenty of cash under the table. ICE is the most corrupt organization that we have under DHS. The system is gamed by the lawyers and "employers" of a slave labor pool. The amount of cash that is generated by this black market economy is staggering. American politicians have NO desire to upset this status quo. We will get platitudes and blue ribbon committees. I remember well the Cesar Chavez movement during the '60s and '70s. This time around, the issue is not about migrant farm workers. The economic prowess and organizational skills are much greater today. Reasonable Americans must demand a civilized and pragmatic approach. Without the violent picket lines and demonstrations. And without the violent rhetoric that damages a conservative cause.
From The Denver Post today http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_3639576 :
"If there was any doubt about the large volume of migrant workers in Colorado, a crowd of more than 50,000 Latino demonstrators proved it today."

"in Laredo, Texas. U.S. authorities grabbed two completed Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), materials for making 33 more, military-style grenades, 26 grenade triggers, large quantities of AK-47 and AR-15 assault rifles, 1,280 rounds of ammunition, silencers, machine gun assembly kits, 300 primers, bullet-proof vests, police scanners, sniper scopes, narcotics, and cash."
Good Post and right on.
