"The operation would likely be the largest deportation sweep targeting immigrant families by the administration of President Barack Obama this year after a similar drive over two days in January that focused on Georgia, Texas, and North Carolina.
Those raids, which resulted in the detention of 121 people, mostly women and children, sparked an outcry from immigration advocates and criticism from some Democrats, including the party's presidential election frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has now told field offices nationwide to launch a 30-day "surge" of arrests focused on mothers and children who have already been told to leave the United States, the document seen by Reuters said. The operation would also cover minors who have entered the country without a guardian and since turned 18 years of age, the document said. Two sources confirmed the details of the plan."
Reads like business as usual.

I am for what is written in paragraph three of my quote and everyone who are currently trying to illegally enter the country.. |

121 people? Whoop de shit. 30 days to leave? Plenty of time to disappear again. Too little, too late.

Except that deportations under Obama have been quite sizable and more than any other POTUS.

Either way, 121 people or even the hundreds they hope to get now isn't even a start. Multiply it by a thousand and you can BEGIN to think you are doing something.  |

Perhaps if they threw in a bit of goosesteppping when they escorted that 1 guy back across the border he wouldn't go for 11. |
