There is a very good reason for this policy. If an immigrant feels there is a risk that they might be deported, there little chance that they will contact authorities if they overhear of are aware of suspicious activity. This policy is meant to send a signal that if one cooperates, they will not be deported. Remember how we criticized Clinton for gutting our intelligence by moving away from developing inside sources to dependence on high tech? Well we need tips from the inside, and this policy is intended to help cultivate such.

But of course all the above logic will be lost on the one-note wonder crowd. Its so much easier to cry "Free Barabas" over and over.

I know of one middle eastern family who was deported from this area.

The man said he was told by authorities if illegals reported their status to the authorities, they would be given their legal papers to stay. The family had been in this country for 7 years and the man had a job.

So he went to the authorities and they deported the family.

Isn't their cry, "Seal the Boarders!"?
