ICE Pulls off Show Bust to Media Fanfare
ICE Pulls off Show Bust to Media Fanfare
For weeks, we have seen HUGE demonstrations of hundreds of thousands of people in the streets of our major cities. It is obvious that many of these demonstrators were illegal aliens.
As others have pointed out – were our Federal Government the LEAST BIT serious about enforcing immigration law – said demonstrations provided a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to make arrests leading to the deportation of thousands, if not tens of thousands, of illegal aliens.
However, as far as I can gather from reports, NOT ONE illegal alien was picked up, arrested, or deported.
NOW, we read – as though it were a big deal – that ICE has busted ONE (multi-state) employer, as well as a number of its illegal alien employees. (Hat tip: Drudge.)
And this story gets a big press splash. The reason it gets a big press splash, sadly, is because it is such a RARE occurrence.
In fact, this bust is SUCH an oddity that it falls into the “man bites dog” category.
As Michael Savage says on his talk radio show, “There is a vacuum at the top in this country.”
President Bush is AWOL on the issue of illegal immigration enforcement. Obviously, his elevator doesn’t go all the way up.
Anyone whose internal alarms were not set off by the sight of our US streets SWARMING with illegal aliens waving MEXICAN flags and speaking in Spanish, does not have a sound grasp on political reality.
President Bush, sadly, is one such individual.
He is living in a dream world. After all, no illegal aliens cut through HIS property in Crawford, leaving dirty diapers and clothing in their wake.
No. He – like (fellow-elitist) Senators McCain, Kennedy, and Feinstein – is insulated from the harsh reality that our country is literally under assault from without.
President Bush simply does NOT GRASP the DEPTH of the OUTRAGE that SO MANY of us feel over this mess.
He will very possibly find out soon enough in the next Congressional elections.
He just may well end up with political egg ALL OVER his face.

I so agree with you on the fact that I cannot understand WHY we haven't arrested more.
I like Bush though, and knowing he's a Texan, I believe that he is outraged by this, but his hands are tied by the liberals that won't put this thing through.
Like Harry "Stinky Pinky" Reid from my state of Nevada that is an embarrassment to the nation.
Nice blog.
Malinda--Since the Republicans control the Presidency and both houses of Congress, who are the liberals who are tying Bush's hands?
Since Bush's base is the corporate elite, I'm not sure why you'd think just because he's a "Texan" he would be outraged. The man lives in the protected world of the rich.
hi, malinda -- thank you for the visit and compliment. I am afraid that I have to disagree with you (and -- shudder -- agree with elizabeth's post, below). President Bush has not been on the side of the ordinary, law-abiding American people on this issue at all. In fact, he has shown himself to be an out-of-touch elitist regarding illegal immigration. Now, you and I CAN agree on the Senator Reid -- a real lightweight if there ever was one. Thank you, again. -- gunjam
elizabeth -- you raise very compelling points, as far as you go. However, you fail to mention that the Senate Democrats, for instance, are nearly all EXTREMELY rich, as well. Please don't try to tell me that the likes of Senators Kennedy, Kerry, Corzine, and Feinstein are "commoners" any more than President Bush is. They are elitists all. -- gunjam
