An eerie quiet has descended over the past week on Fulton Street, a stretch of weather-beaten apartment buildings in eastern Linda Vista that is home to a large number of recent immigrants, some of them legal residents, others not.
Some people have skipped work. Others have skipped doctor appointments. Children are walking to school more frequently by themselves, neighbors say, because their parents are afraid to accompany them outside.
“Today the migra was here,” explained Jose Cardenas, 30, one of those here legally, on a gray afternoon this week when the sidewalks were empty and the street deserted save for passing cars. “People hide, and they don't come out.”
Last Thursday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in San Diego launched a six-day special operation to seek out immigration fugitives or “absconders” who have failed to comply with deportation orders, haven't shown up at immigration hearings or have committed a deportable offense.
It was part of a stepped-up nationwide effort since last fall to target an estimated 590,000 immigration fugitives in the United States, about 5,400 of whom are thought to reside in the San Diego area.

Some own homes with special loans.
Since they are use to living several to a cardboard shack,
living several to an apt or home is a major upscale.
Only they turn their home into looking like a cardboard shack shortly.
Many FReepers who favor amnesty are business owners who hire illegal aliens. In other words, they are cheaters who hire cheaters. Or dare I say, they are illegal employers hiring illegal aliens.
Even these illegal employers would threaten their illegal-alien workers with what you suggest. I'm guessing one of the reasons they hire illegal aliens in the first place is because illegals tend to be submissive. But when illegals speak up, it's time for these illegal employers to hire new illegal aliens.
I support Bush and am not a Bush basher, so for those who think that this is one of those threads, no way.
This is just describing what is going on.
I agree with you totally
Next best thing to deportation is have our imported serf class shitting in their trousers. Eventually they leave but employer sanctions are much quicker
Don't blame me for calling them serfs. Our lazy greedy elites want them, not me. I like America , not Meximerica
"Finding illegals here in Texas is about as difficult as tracking an elephant in a snow bank..... The problem is that no one will do it....local police never ask...no wonder it has gotten out of hand.."
Ditto. All you have to do is follow the bouncing lawnmowers.
The sad thing is, that could Mayberry N.C. or Walton's Mountain. It's everywhere.
So I read & hear. I've got a pal in Virginia that tell me stories. It used to be a problem in the Southwest US & a few urban areas in the east. I think the May Day demonstration in Los Angeles woke a lot of people up. I'm not going to forget it & I've been living in Southern California for 30 years.
WAAAAAY more!
I have a good in VA and she says the same things. Like southern Cal, we in Texas have seen this coming for a long time. A neighborhood I grew up in in the early 60s is all Mexican, Salvadoran, etal and it's a barrio now. That's why "they must assimilate" is absolutely ludicrous. It will not happen. Period.
That is some parts of Los Angeles.
