So far, so good. As long as he sits back and doesn't contest the raids, I'm happy.

I'm sure LaRaza, LuLac and the rest of their ilk are pretty ticked off though.

I'm sure you like I know that their enablers don't care. They have an agenda to fulfill and they will continue to *****, moan and complain about the deportation of their raza as long as "our" representatives continues to use our tax dollars to subsidize their efforts.

Quite a few of the enablers will get the hint if their butts are on the line facing jail time and seizure of their assets.

Surprisingly -- he is.

I didn't think McCain was going to be very good -- I'm glad he didn't win because McCain would have most likely been a disaster on this issue.

Ya know this kinda reminds me of random drug tests at work. You know when times are going really good you see less and less randoms for the simple reason that they NEED the employees. Then when times are bad, like now, you get tested almost every other week so the company can try and have a legitimate reason to get rid of people.

I guess what I'm wondering is, is if the reason we are seeing these raids and a slight toughening up on illegal immigration is due to the fact that politicians and state governments are being forced to address the REAL financial loss that is the illegal immigrant? Maybe the long term benefit of importing liberal voters(thru amnesty) for future elections is proving to be to much of a loss in the short term?

Something tells me if the economy turns around and we see large growth illegal immigration will fall from the fore front again.

Either way, I'm happy, for now, that they are gone.
