See this kind of stuff works, not only does it penalize/close the businesses, but it also exposes the nasty under layers of humans as commodities.

Rather than come into the neighborhoods harassing people like Sheriff Joe, do some real investigation like these folks have and hurt the core of the problem.

There is more than one "core" to this problem. First our government, second the employers and third the illegals themselves. They are ALL guilty.

Just remember that Sheriff Joe is probably drawing the spotlight away from the rest of LE when it comes to rousting illegal aliens. It is pretty tough for a bunch of illegal alien apologists to keep an eye on everything.

Yeah but so far we have just been fighting #3. Arguably if #2 and #1 were fixed first, #3 would take care of itself.

No, we haven't. We have been targeting the employers also. There have been many raids on companies using illegal alien labor and they have been fined and imprisoned in some cases. That is the reason that e-verify is so important. It would put a stop to these illegal hiring practices in most cases.

As for our government they are getting the message loud and clear. We are not going to tolerate this situation any longer. They know they had better not bring up another amesty and that we are demanding e-verify, secure borders and internal enforcement.

Saying i would agree with you. About e-verify, secure borders, and internal enforcement, what do you think the government should do. They will probably do as they are now, nothing. I believe our GOVERNMENT hears the message loud and clear, but will they actullay act upon it.

Removing all pro-amnesty politicans from office via our votes is a good start. We will not tolerate the status quo anymore either and our government is going to hear that loud and clear.

What will the government do ?

Work site raids stopped after February 2009, so that is not on the books. DHS still plays "catch and release", The Soetoro Administration plans on reducing the border patrol by 180 agents,......So, just what is the new approach ?


" A top official in the Obama administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency said that the move away from work-site raids has reduced the number of illegal aliens who have been arrested and led to the release of many of those who had been detained"

And how about these recommendations......

"implement stricter federal regulations on arrest and detention procedures for ICE and other law enforcement agencies, including allowing illegal aliens to continue to work while they contest their deportation."

"and the establishment of networks of attorneys to represent illegal aliens who have been arrested"
