Wonder Why It's So Easy to Be an Illegal and Get Away With It?...

165 Arrested In Immigration Sting!

PORTLAND - Immigrations and Customs Enforcement officials arrested 165 people Tuesday after raiding three locations looking for undocumented workers.

ICE officials raided the ASR office on North Lombard, their satellite office inside Fresh Del Monte and Fresh Del Monte itself. It was at these locations where officials arrested three managers for knowingly hiring undocumented workers and supplying them with false documentation.

Good job! you say! We got two birds (the illegals and the company people who supplied them with false documents) with one stone! Hurray!! Right? So you'd think, but here's what the highest elected official, the Mayor, of Portland, had to say:

Portland Mayor Tom Potter says he's unhappy with how the raids were carried out.

He released this statement: "I am angered by this morning's arrest by federal officers of approximately 150 Portland residents who were working at a local produce company. I certainly understand why federal officials executed criminal warrants against three individuals who stole and sold Social Security numbers. But to go after local workers who are here to support their families while filling the demands of local businesses for their labor is bad policy."

No wonder it's so easy for illegals to hide from our immigration police! I wonder if he could be charged with, 'aiding and abetting'? We can't let up now. Here is a place where you can help by sending free faxes to our elected officials. All you need to do is register. It's 'Numbers, USA.' It's pretty obvious that neither the Mayor of Portland nor President Bush want to uphold the law! Maybe we can force them to! BTW: I called Bush yesterday and gave him heck for not caring about his people; the non-Mexican ones; the ones here legally who elected him to uphold the law! Later...
