My suspicious mind. I can’t help thinking that these are token raids, ordered because the amnesty bill got stalled and because conservatives have been complaining that nothing was being done on the illegal front.
We need to do this on a full scale all over the country. The point is that employers of illegals should see it happening often enough so they would actually worry that they might be next. If the law is seen to be regularly enforced, then after a while it won’t be necessary to have so many raids, because employers will become reluctant to risk getting caught and punished.
You aren’t the only one with a suspicious mind.
I surely do hope we are wrong, though.
I totally agree with the rest of your post, too.
I want to see the illegals self-deport.
