This is window dressing, only an action taken with a great deal of fanfare (over 100 arrested!). However, in light of the Millions of people illegally in this country, I suspect it is meaningless unless it becomes a daily occurrence. The authorities will use this only as window dressing to show the public that they are doing something, kind of like capturing a few bales of pot once in a while to show how hard they are trying to enforce the laws.

We will know their true hearts and intent by their arrests over the long term.

One key question - are they publicizing this arrest in Mexico? If not, then they do not intend to try to deter the Mexican illegals from coming.

It was *1,187 people* that were arrested in the raids.

What I've been trying to find are the details of a teaser on our local TV station yesterday that I didn't stick around to hear the upshot of - they said after the arrests, all of them went home. The closest thing I've found to that statement is that 6 of the 7 executives arrested here and in New York got out of jail on varying amounts of bond.

I'm positive that at least a few of the illegals themselves who were in a federal detention center here are still there, or were as of yesterday evening, because their mothers and girlfriends were on the news protesting about it, things like their not being allowed to take needed medications into some of the men and stories like that.

This is window dressing

Yep, wake me up when one of these executives is in jail. I'm setting my snooze alarm for 2008.
