Illegals raid dismays Obama backers
The Washington Times ^ | February 26, 2009 | Stephen Dinan

Immigrant rights groups blasted President Obama on Wednesday for breaking what they called his "personal commitment" to change Bush-era immigration raids after U.S. authorities raided an engine machine shop in Washington state and detained illegal immigrants.

The Obama administration itself seemed taken aback by the raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano vowing to Congress that she would "get to the bottom of this."

You are quite the optimist.

I’m thinking that is far from a given.

Excellent! Every crisis is an opportunity to consolidate power. In this case, we can make a case for giving him socialized psychotherapy to make him feel less rage. Such a policy will then be applied to those guilty of thought crimes, all of whom will disappear quietly for the greater good.

“Get to the bottom” of how the law could be enforced?

My gosh, I’ve just about given up on this country.

...Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano vowing to Congress that she would "get to the bottom of this." "The secretary is not happy and this is not her policy," a Homeland Security official said Wednesday...

POLICY? "It's not HER policy"??? How about LAW? She's going to choose which laws to enforce? Whoops, we've been doing that for decades since we stopped deporting illegals.

Last I heard he had been spotted still in Phoenix.

Really? I fugured he was long gone by now. The liberals own that disaster too. They couldn't let him go to jail in handcuffs and a jail jumpsuit because it might bias the jury against him. I think he has 3 known victims total but I'm sure there will be more.

In all likelihood, the nation — or what will be left of it — will never recover, if it survives physically>>>>>>>>>>>>>

America is a nation of neighborhoods. THis battole will be won or lost in our neigborhoods. So when some fascist progue stands up at a City or borough meeting , we have to take the battle to them RIGHT THEN AND THERE.

The first Acorn census taker who comes to my home, will be informed of his trespass on my property and given 5 minutes to make a graceful exit. After that there will be an escalating array of force until he leaves ungracefully.

That is the attitude we need. REJECT THE SOCIALIST INNITIATIVE. On the ground in our own neigborhoods.

We will not trade our freedom for a few paltry pieces of silver.

The last I heard on a Phoenix TV station was that he had been spotted still in Phoenix. Most thought he would have taken off back to Mexico. I loved the way Arpaio racked the judges over the coals about this. He’s right.

I hope you are right, but I’m afraid the brainwashing and extorsion has proceeded too far. God bless you for standing up to the scum.

If that caught on in other agengies and departments, who knows how much work sould get done, or where would it end?

“We pretend to work and they pretend to pay us!” That is “life” under communism.

Said Ms Napolitano, “This is not the Customs Enforcement department I know.”

Five minutes seems like a long time unless you have a very long driveway.

When I tell them to leave, they should run, exercise being good for their health and well-being.

Did they find Auntie Bama or is she hiding in the WH with the other illegal alien?
