Pstor Fred Morris looked out over his congregation Sunday as news ricocheted around the world that American authorities were rounding up immigrants in an enforcement surge that President Donald Trump promised on the campaign trail.

Parishioners did not smile as on any other Sunday morning. They stared down at their feet. Others didn't attend at all.

"There is a dreadful sense of fear. It's more than palpable. It's radiating. People are terrified," said Morris, whose United Methodist mission is in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood of Los Angeles. "They were just sitting there in stunned silence."

Yes, every single new conf question about “immigrants” should be answered by Sean Spicer with the preface, “I assume you are asking about ILLEGAL ALIENS, is that correct?” Every time, even if it’s 20 times in a briefing.

And not too long ago they acted entitled,owed, they were so cocky too. Obama did them a great disservice making them so comfortable and believing the gravy train would last forever.

Laws are laws, illegals should never have had not had fear of deportation. Thanks Odunga, Bush, Clinton POS! If they weren’t voting why would you have had fear of following the laws?

Many will get the hell out. Others will get the point and stay out, making Trump’s job easier.

There’s your first error: It’s INVADERS, not “immigrants”, clowns. And invaders need to be repelled or, if they have already gained entry, neutralized.

When cons escape the pen, go over the wall and are hiding out at truck stops, people’s backyard sheds, below bridges and at interstate rest stops, you can be damned sure THEY ARE IN FEAR.

How it should be:

1. A citizen gives specific, actionable info regarding the whereabouts of an illegal with illegally obtained assets.

2. Info check performed

3. Pickup performed

4. Liquidation of assets

5. Info provider given 10% of former asset value total

Quicker would be to simply use IRS info regarding TIN holders.

Supposedly Obama deported 2 million. Suddenly a couple hundred is a reign of terror.

What does the statement that “everybody” runs inside to hide, tell us about how overrun we are with illegals?
