One of the largest immigration raids since Native Americans tried to dislodge illegal aliens from England in 1622.

This is from the Chicago Tribune. It's interesting to think about the ways that we treat one another. I've noticed that as human beings we tend to enforce our laws on the unfortunate and disenfranchised; in this case on hard working heads of households, who more often then not have an honest point of view in life here in America. There are many more shadier things that are of no concern to us. We aren't made aware of their existence since they work in the backgrounds of our quotidian life. What's worse is that it is planned within the political agenda of the administration in power to scapegoat the unfortunate and the disenfranchised. Don't you know it's easier than fixing things?

What's great is that the location where they hold the people that they keep. The National Cattle Congress in Waterloo, Iowa. It seems the government has a bit of history with this place. Here is an article for this.

How to deport illegal aliens?

Step one: sedate them.

Here's an article by Fox of all people.

No really, literally sedate them. I can't believe I found this. This takes place in Los Angeles, and apparently, "To get a sedation order from court, officials must show deportees have a history of physical resistance to being removed or are a danger to themselves."

So all you have to prove is that they show physical resistance and boom, you got it easy. Wow, the question is what they define as physical resistance. I'm almost sure their definition to a "physical" resistance is loose, real loose.

May 1st Immigration Reform march
Here is a about it occurring in Austin, Texas. The original intent was to allow the Texas Governer to see it out of his mansion. Too bad he doesn't live in it while it's being renovated. One of the most remarkable statements that touched me was this:

"I'm here because we need immigration reform immediately," said marcher Victor Ibarra, 38. "We need to be able to travel and be free."

Just so simple and beautiful. Immigration reform leads to freedom Mr. Ibarra's eyes.
