Immigration raids spark plan-ahead drive
Orange County ^ | 11/27/2007 | Amy Taxin

Lawyers and advocacy organizations teach illegal immigrants to prepare for deportations and know their rights.

ORANGE - After immigration raids near her house this year, Rosa isn't taking many chances.

The 35-year-old illegal immigrant tries to stay home when possible and avoids extra trips to the store. And she's spoken with her two U.S.-born children about what lacking papers means – and let them know that if she is deported, a family friend will bring them to her in Mexico.

Citing an increase in raids, immigration rights advocates are urging families to plan for a deportation if someone in their household faces that risk. About 3 million children who are U.S. citizens have at least one parent who is undocumented, according to a 2006 Pew Hispanic Center study.

The Pew Hispanic Center is one of the largest pro-criminal organizations in North America. The “civilized” face of MS-13, so to speak.

“The Catholic Legal Immigration Network recently issued new guidelines that aim to give illegal immigrants more practical advice....”

The padres can’t seem to stay out of criminal activities either!

I regret our subscription to the OC Register. They have a heavy pro-illegal alien slant that I have complained about to no avail. I would dump it in a minute but for the fact that my wife likes the paper for its ads and local news.

Unforgivable for every one concerned that our politicians have allowed this to happen. And there is more than 3 million...Parkland Hosp. in Dallas delivers that many.

This the first time I have read this type of plain English. Perhaps, but I will believe it when I see it, the Hammer is about to drop? Even the lawyers and advocates realize if America becomes serious, or so it does appear by this statement, people facing deportation (illegals) have no rights. What a breath of fresh air.

A plan to return to ones country is what they should all be carrying out at this time, threats and risks of deportation notwithstanding!!

So maybe we're making progress. At least the "immigration rights advocates" are acknowledging their clients have no legal right to be in the US and aren't claiming a natural right of migration as they've been doing.

Telling illegals to make plans for their deportation? Hell yeah, I am all for that.
