Chicago Tribune ^ | Feb 12, 2017 | Claire Galofaro, Juliet Linderman The Associated Press

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."

For days, fear and confusion have gripped immigrant communities after word spread that federal agents were rounding up hundreds of immigrants in cities across the country. The scope of the operation remained unclear on Sunday...

I was thinking the same thing, how can we stir up fear without stepping over any line of legality.

Then go back to your own country. Quit breaking our laws. Quit taking educational and medical benefits you are not entitled to. Quit committing crimes in our nation. Quit taking "tax credits" you are not owed.

No need for immigrants to fear; only the illegal invaders will be deported.

“There is a dreadful sense of fear. It’s more than palpable.”

Sure there is. He’s worried their cash cows may dry up.

United Methodist ministries’ `Bienvenidos Wagon’ gets federal cash for each muslim they help get settled and for illegals.

SHAME on you, Chicago Tribune

While there, they inquired about Mosqueda, learned he was here illegally and put him on a bus to Mexico.

Where he promptly walked back across the border and grabbed a bus home. Build the damn wall!

If they’re illegal I hope their every moment is in fear until they get their asses back across that border!!!


Actually, a good way to pay for the wall is to follow the guys who pick up day workers at Home Depot etc. I believe the fine is $10,000 per illegal

IF this is not fake news, all I can say is they should live in dreadful sense of fear since they are all criminals, and stealing identities of citizens is (or should be!) a serious felony with really painful consequences, including a permanent ban from returning to the United States.

The arrogance of millions of illegal ignorant disease-ridden Mexicans* (specially first generation "citizens") will be legendary.

I hope Trump has the good sense to consider foreign national illegal residents to be deportable as felons. No matter how many children they have or how long they have lived in the United States.

* It is a well kept secret (so far) that Silicon Valley is experiencing a crisis of recurring serious diseases that has passed the national security crisis point. Thousands of high tech employees are out sick every week. This from multiple sources living and working in the Silicon Valley.

Not a single mention of it in the Mainstream media, OR from the State and Federal health agencies.

All in addition to the ongoing hit on the schools ridden with fleas, lice and diseases common and exotic not experienced for 50 years.

Unlike illegal alien criminals, I also fear for the health and safety of my sons and grandchildren, natural born citizens all, living in San Jose and within a 30 mile radius...

....get a pair of shades,some dockers,a black baseball cap,a dark blue wind breaker with 4 inch high white letters with the Spanish word for ICE

That would be "HIELO..."

Wouldn't work out; but "MIGRA" might... of course it would make you an instant target, too. These scared animals, specially the women, would not hesitate to kill you.

Ever been to non-tourist Mexico?
