U.S. immigration authorities arrested hundreds of undocumented immigrants in at least a half-dozen states this week in a series of raids that marked the first large-scale enforcement of President Trump’s Jan. 26 order to crack down on the estimated 11 million immigrants living here illegally.
The raids, which officials said targeted known criminals, also netted some immigrants who did not have criminal records, an apparent departure from similar enforcement waves during the Obama administration that aimed to just corral and deport those who had committed crimes.
Trump has pledged to deport as many as 3 million undocumented immigrants with criminal records. Last month he also made a change to the Obama administration’s policy of prioritizing deportation for convicted criminals, substantially broadening the scope of who the Department of Homeland Security can target to include those with minor offenses or no convictions at all.
Federal agents conduct immigration enforcement raids in at least six states
Eventually, if you have an outstanding parking ticket, out you go the way it should be.
Attention liberals: keep those pussy hats ready to go because I'm sure you are going to get the call to protest and riot. Today six states, tomorrow twelve.
Gasphhhh. The comrade already stated they won't be deporting anyone who hasn't committed a crime in this country, so the ones that haven't but have been rounded up will be set free after they're checked out.
Being an illegal is a crime you idiot
There's a lot of shades of gray here. Most of what you consider Illegal's in this country actually overstayed their Visa's. Typically they have legal family members in this country that they came out to visit, and decided to stay. So the courts will look at them differently, especially if the family still vouches for them and or they are still living with them. IOW--it would be the equivalent of you going to stay with your family in the U.K. and not renewing your VISA. Would they insist that you leave? Probably not.
I doubt this country is really willing to tear apart families. We won't separate husbands from wives, mothers from kids, grandparents from the family circle. That's just not going to happen.
Really the only ones that face immediate deportation are the ones that are actually CAUGHT crossing the border. These people are NOT crossing the border to go from nothing to nothing. There are family members and friends waiting for them on the other side, that are willing to help them, and to establish them into this country. Others are crossing to pick fruit for jobs they have done in the past, and will recross the border, (again illegally) to get back to family members in Mexico. But they will receive their day in court, & receive their due process via immigration lawyers and most of the time new Visa's and or Green Cards will be issued to ones that are no threat to this country, i.e what you consider criminals whom the courts do not.
I doubt many of you live in states where there are a lot of Hispanics. Where I live, this is constant and it's not unusual to see ICE raid Restaurants, Fast food places, and Hotels to round up a bunch, but the overwhelming majority are in fact set free back into their areas.
