"They are not criminals. All they're here for is to work for their family," said Mariz Gomez.

One thing has nothing to do with the other!

They are criminals!

And if they were caught committing the same crime in Mexico, they would be charged with a felony and eligible for a sentencwe of up to 2 years.

"There was a crackdown Wednesday and dozens of illegal immigrants were arrested. Many of those same immigrants were released just hours later."

How nice! And only in America will these folks be aided and abetted. Bush and the D.C. clan are doing such a great job! Let's see, now the countdown for America losing its sovereignty is...

Update from the Guardian:

Feds Warn Companies Using Illegal Workers

WASHINGTON (AP) - The government plans to crack down ever harder on employers who harbor and hire illegal immigrants, pursuing companies that ignore the law so they can exploit cheap labor.

``We are going to move beyond the current level of activity to a higher level in each month and year to come,'' Michael Chertoff said Thursday. He pledged to ``come down as hard as possible'' on violators.

Federal agents on Wednesday arrested seven current and former managers of IFCO Systems, a manufacturer of crates and pallets, on criminal charges, and more than 1,100 people were arrested on administrative immigration charges at more than 40 IFCO sites in the U.S.

``Our nation's communities cannot be a wild frontier where illegal aliens and unscrupulous employees subvert our nation's laws,'' said Julie Myers, assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Wow, using accurate terminology!

I told you it would work Ted. I actually have a whole bunch of them thinking we're finally enforcing the law.
