Bingo.
It would be so easy to form small teams and do raids all over the country at construction sites and restaurants etc but they're not going to do that because it'll work.
The goal is not to solve the "problem". The goal is to placate "the masses", because to "the powers that be" (the Robber Baron employers and Our Glorious Leaders in government), it's NOT "a problem" -- the criminal aliens are an asset
WE, on the other hand -- We The People -- are a nuisance. So, we have to be placated.
I propose naming the Criminal Alien Entitlemant Act (the actual meaning of the "reform" proposal) to, the "Throw the Dog a Bone Act."
It makes me wonder how many times they have to be told they're not fooling anybody before it sinks in.
