LA Times ^ | 5/14/08 | By Anna Gorman, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

More than 60 illegal immigrants, including three toddlers, were discovered at a house in South Los Angeles early this morning by federal immigration agents serving a search warrant as part of an investigation into a human smuggling ring, authorities said.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents entered the single-family, two-story home in the 10000 block of South Normandie Avenue about 6:30 a.m.. and found 61 Central and South American immigrants crowded into the house, with trash and rotting food piled 2 to 3 feet high in each room, agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said. The immigrants told agents that they had been staying in the home since Friday.

"It was essentially a scene of squalor," Kice said.

That’s about 0.0002% of the illegal population in LA.

Some one tell me again about how I should be compassionate about these ILLEGAL INTRUDERS and the way they are willing to live.

Talk slow, please, because I only went to a one room school. I might not be educated enough to understand all the reasons some one can come up with.

I have lived here in the LA for a long long time now and have been able to gather much information given to us by all of the Latino leaders and politicians in LA county. The answer is : We need to be compassionate because these people don't have "Drivers Licenses."

If we give them "Drivers Licenses" then everything will be OK.

I hope that answers your question.

>Immigration and Customs was working with the consulates of those countries in an attempt to keep the young children with their mothers, Kice said.<

Perhaps Immigration and Customs should handle the polygamy case in Texas.

If we give them driver licenses will they go home on their own? If not, then that’s not the problem.

I don't believe that that would be the result. From what I hear from the activists etc, The possession of "Drivers Licenses" by those in this country illegally will create a Utopian society where everyone would get along and there would be peace in the streets of this country forever.

In case you don't realize it I am using sarcasm.

I am so thankful that I have my reading glasses on or I would have completely missed the tiny print explaining the sarcasm!

(actually, I understand the need to define sarcasm. We have so many DIM trolls on here these days it gets embarrassing.)

If the illegal aliens began doing to Bush's Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford and to the Kennedy Compound what they've done to ordinary middle class neighborhoods in America, that border would be militarized faster than Teddy Kennedy could down a bottle of Old Granddad.

South Normandie Ave is the territory of the notorious MS-13 gang.

Of course, this is all the white man’s fault. Although it is hard to find a white man in LA these days.
