These "arrests" are just political subterfuge and pandering to the base -- and will have NO far-reaching effect. It is all about presidential poll numbers. It is a sham.
They were bused to the Mexican border and released, but they were also back at the mill before the bus got back!
The ol' gubm'nt sure had some teeth in those days! LOL
In 2004, there were a total of four (4) prosecutions of American employers using illegal alien employees.
The "raids" were just window-dressing.
With hopes of getting the "vigilantes" to return to the Republican fold,
donate to the RNC, and vote Republican.
Didnt we give illegal aliens amnesty back in the 70's?? or was it 80's?
Didnt work, did it?
What do you expect from Dilberto Gonzales??
Now the Republicans are spinning just like the Democrats, whom we all thought were so dishonest.
Now, why did they want my vote again?
Illegals marching across the country...
I wonder if "doing the jobs that Americans don't want" includes voting in Marxist candidates, if they gain citizenship?
One high profile raid with managers arrested is all I ask.
For decades the Republican Party hasn't stood for anything but big business. In the old days they had the cold war to help them get the presidency, today they're trying to make terrorism the new Soviets, a ploy that is bound to fail. They have no real domestic vision (GHWB's "vision thing"), and are completely controlled by the mores pushed by the mass media. (Democracy in the age of television basically means a velvet dictatorship of the media.) They've never really served their voters, only manipulated them, and sooner or later the hollowness of the party will cause a collapse of morale among their supporters which, combined with the importation of millions of Democratic voters, will see the Republicans sent to the wilderness once again, perhaps forever this time.
