Whenever I go to the kitchen I see a couple of ants wandering around the counter looking for food. I crush them and sweep them away. It feels good but since they estimate there are 100 million ants for every human it isn’t really accomplishing anything other than to make it appear like I’m doing something useful. That’s what I think of when I read about these big “sweeps” yielding a few dozen arrests. Nothing but bread and circuses.

Except unlike the ants, when you *publicly* bust some illegals, it makes some of the remaining ones flee back to their country. By some estimates, a couple hundred flee for every one visibly arrested and deported.

Actually, that brings to mind a rather amusing tactic - until further steps are taken, make a point of performing the most publicized and high profile illegal alien busts in ‘sanctuary cities.’ To the point where illegals begin to figure ‘sanctuary cities’ are more like ‘roach motels’ and actively flee them - thus depriving sanctuary cities of their money and more importantly their Democrat votes (because you know they’re voting illegally).

Should a coach demand the players not behave like “fagots” (i.e., wimps,) or a LEO decry the BLM thugs protesting the Anthem, what do the Leftwing bureaucrats do? They threaten the financial well-being of the individual and his family.

These Leftwing bureaucrats say they’re not intimidated... well, they would be if treated equally.

San Jose? There’s gotta be at least 100,000 illegals there. Send in the military. Those people are foreign invaders. Hostile ones. Very hostile ones.

That’s good news. Santa Clara County will continue to attract these criminals so that ICE can round them up more efficiently. Saving money for another big Trump win.

Like just about every other stat about illegals your “estimates” are just fantasy, like the estimates about 11 million undocumented, more in taxes paid in by illegals than benefits taken out, most undocumented people being productive, law-abiding citizens, etc. Nobody knows because nobody keeps the numbers. I’ll agree with you that *some* are going to leave. But then *some more* are going to show up to take their place and until we get real immigration reform the bread and circuses will go on.

Of the total Bay Area arrestees, 23 had criminal convictions including drug possession, assault, domestic violence and DUI, and four were previously deported and deemed criminal aliens by federal authorities.

In the insane age we live in, these are radical acts: arresting criminal illegal aliens, standing up for the National Anthem, and recognizing that homosexual men who dress up in women's underwear are perverts.

Yes, but this is something we can do now, without having to wait for Congress to get off their collective posteriors. Something is better than nothing. Should also be noted that if INS is picking up illegals publicly, they will be less likely to illegally vote or even make too many public appearances.

In the meantime, work towards getting the wall in place before turning to any further ‘reforms’ - because once the wall is in place and illegals’ deportations are continuing, we may have a friendlier Congress to pass real, honest immigration reform that doesn’t bone the country.

The physical wall will be good...once built it will never be removed.

But we also need a wall comprised of strict enforcement of laws against hiring illegals.

And strict welfare reform.

No free lunch = no illegals.

Your anchor-baby can stay, you however must leave...with or without the baby.

Yes, ICE or the FBI should arrest county officials for conspiracy. Maybe a few of them should be treated like Paul Manafort.

Round up the mayor, city council and CoP.

That would get their attention.

Especially when they find themselves in Gitmo.

If these county officials are harboring criminals in any way it should be illegal, and they should be held to account.

It’s disgusting.

"Santa Clara County officials said they “are not going to be intimidated” by the Trump Administration."

So says Julio, Juan and Jose....

Come on folks... Just give California back to Mexico... There is nothing of any social redeeming value left in that state... We no longer have the stones to fight for what we own... And they know it..!

Hell... We cant even build a stinking wall.....

ICE should be hired as poll watchers for every major city in the USA for the next election.

Their attitude is irrelevant as long as they don’t interfere with the enforcement of Constitutional laws.
