I guess by now everyone has heard or read almost everything about the raid on the Del Monte food processing plant in Portland, Oregon. As with the Swift Company raid, some of the data coming out of the raid is very interesting and shows just how far wrong the administration is in their propaganda. A summary of the details are as follows"165 workers were detained to be processed for deportation. [That means 165 American workers would not be employed or could be underemployed.]
3 people were indicted on immigration, illegal documents, and identity theft charges.
More than 30 were released because of humanitarian concerns--with a notice to appear. (Good luck).
The Portland Mayor was critical of the process. Although he "understood" the three arrests, he said: "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." [Note the standard, sound-byte type of scripted comment that is repeated continually after such raids. It might be interesting to know who writes these scripts.]
The special agent in charge of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement regional office in Seattle had to give his own comment: "The mayor is former law enforcement and he understands that we don't always agree with the laws placed in front of us. I don't make the laws. I enforce the laws." He added the following statement: "If we need to change these laws, it's up to Congress and Washington, D.C., to come up with a comprehensive approach to immigration reform." [The statement is uncalled for from a law enforcement officer.]
Another special agent documented that only 48 of the 600 workers at the plant had valid social security numbers.
According to Federal prosecutors, 20 of the Social Security numbers being misused belonged to people 60 or older, and 29 more belonged to deceased people. [Perhaps one is yours or someone you know, mine, my deceased parents... Whoever is/are responsible for that harmful process should be good candidate(s) for tars-feathers-and-rail riding.]
More than one person involved with the company or another civil rights group characterized the raid as inhumane. "They are only here to feed their families."
[Actually, they stole into the country illegally, stole or illegally purchased Social Security documents that were faked--some of which belonged to other people--and improperly took jobs that rightfully belonged to American citizens. Right! What about the unemployed Americans who had to feed their families? How about American families ripped apart because of no jobs or jobs that do not sustain a minimal standard of living? How about hungry American children? The American worker should never be at risk of his job being taken from him--and this is what is happening--and given to someone that does not even belong inside our borders and should be deported forthwith.]
In an indirectly related story, the Feds are adding to their database (600,000 names at the moment) to find and deport alien fugitives, but many cities will not allow their police forces to assist in finding them, giving the usual excuses--but they are just not taking a chance on the politics of the situation. It is much more important to be a mayor than an honest and loyal citizen. Other groups say that aliens who stole into this country illegally and took jobs away from American citizens do not belong on a database listing criminals. I seem to recall many politicians assuring us off-handedly that it would be impossible to locate and deport the aliens. Well, of course it would be, dummy, if you tell your police forces not to help, meddle with the databases to keep illegal non-citizens from being entered into the system, and you allow immigrant advocacy organizations to keep suing the government, trying to harass and delay justice and you keep trying to intimidate the authorities.
Have you noticed that everyone that does not seem to care what happens to our American workers, Church leaders, politicians, police, advocacy groups, etc., are not at risk for losing their jobs to the illegal aliens. We have more than one egregious problem with our borders and with illegal aliens. Perhaps someone should explain it to the President; he does not seem to know. If he does know and is not taking the required action to close the borders, then we have an even bigger problem.
Lots of things can be looked at and lots of cases can be reviewed to determine how we should react to humanitarian problems that the illegal aliens caused themselves by being illegal aliens. But we should not be strong-armed into doing anything as long as the borders are open. IT'S THE BORDERS, STUPID! SECURE THEM! Until then, we will not discuss the humanitarian, economic, or other issues the illegal aliens want discussed. By the way, forget amnesty! That is not going to happen! And unless the people WE sent to Washington start table-pounding and fuss-raising to get those borders secured, someone may get their jobs too; and it won't be illegal aliens.
To repeat what I have said previously, we welcome legal immigrants to this country all of the time. We welcome people who want to be like us, to work like us and who love the things we love--freedom, seeking the American dream, fulfilling the idea that your kids will be better off than you and be great Americans. We could care less about nationalities or races or religions--we just don't care. We don't even care if you turn out not exactly like us, we just hope you'll try. And we hope you will find success. Just do the right thing to come into our country.
