Hey, this looks good for headlines but you can walk past that many in an hour anywhere in TX.

We get that many passing through our podunk little county jail a couple times or so a week.

We’re somewhat numb to the figures by now but a shockingly high number of ‘law-abiding’ illegals are violent, drunken predators and repeat offenders.

Texas needs to arrest that many illegals per hour.

Yes, they need to go to work here in NJ; illegals are filling the space vacated by Americans fleeing the oppressive taxes and horrible business climate.

It’s definitely a monumental task.

ICE’s job is actually pretty easy.

Hit all the Home Depot parking lots in the big Texas cities.

They can nab 20K in a day.

Must be in a non-posted\follow-up story, but I’m missing the info where any GOVT employee was arrested for aid\abet\collud\harbor-ing, obstruction, interfering w/ a Fed. agent+...Or the illegal welfare state was dismantled (I’d prefer BOTH).

IMO, *ONLY* until that begins to happen, I know the farce vs. border security & illegals remain a farce.

Clearly they are not interested in efficiency and volume with this task.

It is an onslaught, a tidal wave of epic proportions, a flood, a vast sweep of tens! Ruthless, unprecedented, cruel, savage! Oh the hoomanity!

ICE must have exhausted all their resources on this series of raids. They will have to rest up for weeks.

I guess they will reprocess all of them for another round of hearings or something. We are gonna need a lot more toothbrushes and soap now folks. Bring on the appropriations of billions.

Only millions left to go.

Go one block behind Mattress Mac’s place and they can find all they can carry.

Every job looks huge until you start digging in. But you’ve got to keep going. If by next week after this delay of the mass roundup there is no change then we know somebody got to somebody.

I hope none of these illegals worked for Chip and Joanna Gaines in Waco. I love their house remodels.

it would be much easier if..

we jailed their employers by requiring e-verify checks on EVERYONE and criminal charges for those that fail and the employers that keep them around

we turn OFF the welfare to illegals

basically, if we make them uncomfortable. They will go home on their own.
