False rumors of random federal immigration raids have sent panic through immigrant communities around the country this week, emptying classrooms, work sites and shopping areas and sending thousands of people into hiding.
Towns in New Jersey and on Long Island have been among those most affected by the snowballing fear, say immigrant advocates and public officials, who described terrified mothers pulling their children from a Head Start program in Freehold, N.J., and deserted streets in usually bustling areas of West Hempstead, N.Y.

Well, I heard ICE is going to be sending empty busses and thousands of agents to the rallies-- a very efficient way to deport thousands with minimal effort.That would be perfect.

And they have all those trailers, ten thousand of them, in southern Arkansas, empty, that were said to have been sent there for Katrina victims [yeh, right], just sitting there, empty. Wonder if they could be used as 'holding areas'? Hmmm.....

GOOD!
Now lets start spreading TRUE rumors about random raids. The self deportations will begin and and the exodus will be of Biblical proportions.
U.S. Citizens and LEGAL Resident Aliens can even help. We'll have a 'Keep Off The Roads Saturday' so the highways and interstates will be open and the Illegals will make good time scooting back home.

I'm sure the illegal ones aren't panicked enough to go back.

I only wish that were true. ICE won't even show up, as with the demonstrations weeks ago. And I'd bet the order to "not disturb" came from the WH.

If you are an illegal alien, do not read this!
CTU alert! Chloe message. Bauer orders 'flank 3 Monday'. Curtis has tea with 'ice'. Buchanan authorizes Section 114d. End message.

Here is a hint on how simple it would be to rid ourselves of illegal immigration. All that needs be done is to enforce the existinglaw and to secure our border.

Awww! Boo-Hoo....
These raids aren't just rumors. People should tell these illegals that the government is trying to trick them by saying these raids are just rumors so they don't go into hiding...
To: don-o
Hope we can round up at least a couple million of them on Monday, as they celebrate International Workers Day (not holding my breath).

"We'll have a 'Keep Off The Roads Saturday' so the highways and interstates will be open and the Illegals will make good time scooting back home." That's NOT a good idea. They'll be scooting back home in YOUR car that they stole the night before...

They're just doing the fleeing that Americans refuse to do.
