"Why are they sending out six or seven agents to investigate a paper crime, and are they causing them to run in the first place through intimidation?" he asked.
Translation: Why are they enforcing the law?

U.S. immigration authorities are then given the names of those believed to be in this country illegally.

And US immigration authorities toss the list of names into the trash can saying, "We can't deport all these people who have broken our laws. It wouldn't be compassionate."

The sheriff said the raids are justified under a long-standing Florida law prohibiting employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

And these same hand-wringing liberals who bemoan the plight of the poor, law-breaking illegal alien will blame that same Sheriff for not arresting the nuke-briefcase-carrying terrorist.

Interesting and apparently effective tactic. Congrats to Sheriff McKeithen.

I’d like to know what ICE is doing with the names.

We had a roofing company back in the 70’s and worked mostly in new housing additions. Immigration back then used to drive green vans. If ANY green van pulled into the construction sites ...you would see the illegals scatter like cockroaches. It was almost amusing because 9 times out of 10...the “green van” would belong to a competitor of the builder. ha. I guess you have to get your jollies somehow.

and the ACLU says its constitutionality is questionable.

I'd like to see where in the constitution its wrong for the police to chase people.

And builders are worried the crackdown will deprive them of the labor they need to take part in a building boom in which Panama City's Beach cheap spring-break motels are being torn down and replaced with high-rise condos.

Builders are implicitly admitting that they rip off their customers by hiring un-insurable, non-bondable, un-identifiable identity theft criminals to do work.

The Mexican American Legal Defense Fund is investigating the arrests because "the intimidation factor is of great concern," said Elise Shore, regional counsel for the organization.

Bite me Elise.

Why are they sending out six or seven agents to investigate a paper crime,

The BATFE has many more agents than that looking for violations of NFA '34 - which are paper crimes too. But, where's the outrage?

Hmmm interesting. This would help explain why I’m seeing less mexicans around here lately. Still got a long way to go though.

I’m sure plenty of other white or black construction workers would be happy for those jobs. The secret words are “Cheap labor.” arrgghhh
