San Diego's Linda Vista is a hardscrabble neighborhood of two-story homes favored by Mexican, Filipino and Vietnamese immigrants. As in other cities, the fugitive task force arrived in unmarked vehicles and agents were dressed like civilians. Mack said agents wore something to identify them as law enforcement, perhaps an agency insignia on a shirt or a bulletproof vest marked POLICE.
On a recent day on the North American Continent in the United Sates of America

Day laborer Fredy Calleja said his uncle was arrested about two weeks ago while watering plants outside his home. An agent asked him about someone suspected of selling drugs in the area. When the uncle said he didn't know the drug dealer, the agent asked if he was in the country illegally and arrested him when he said he was.

Calleja said his uncle was deported but then sneaked across the border in Tijuana, Mexico. He was back in San Diego a little more than a week later.

Since the blitz began, Serafina Morales has been looking for unmarked white or black vehicles whenever she leaves the house.

"We're all scared to go to school," she said. "Many of us are letting our children walk alone."

CURIOUS ONLOOKERS...THEY GET HAULED AWAY TOO
While criminals were targeted, agents also asked neighbors and curious onlookers about their immigration status and, if they were in the country illegally, they got hauled away for deportation, too.

"We can't just turn our heads away from people we find along the way," said Lauren Mack, an ICE spokeswoman in San Diego.

CREDIT REPORTS CHECKED
Agents staked out homes to determine when best to come knocking, interviewed apartment managers and checked credit reports and loan applications.

BUSH: FUGITIVE TASK FORCE TO TRIPLE
Since last fall, the agency has increased its fugitive task forces nationwide from 18 to 38, and plans to expand to 52 teams by the end of the year. The Bush administration has proposed a total of 70 teams.

Why?

Why are you glad they are "catching them"...they aren't rats, they are humans!

What did this person or anyone who over stayed a visitors visa ever do to you personally?

You are falling for propoganda -- and that is a scarey thing.

Call it what you will, but I've always been one to believe that every crime involves risks, and if the risk is too high, maybe you should think twice about committing the crime. Illegal immigration is just that....illegal. What gives these people the right to cut in line, and cast themselves ahead of the people who are attempting to immigrate LEGALLY? I have all the respect in the world for immigrants....as long as they are here legally. I have no problems with the deportation of illegal aliens. All they do is make it harder for the people who worked hard to become legal residdents of this country.

Before anyone jumps all over me for this view, keep in mind Mexico is no gem when it comes to immigration issues. They have substantial troops on THEIR southern boarder, in an attempt to keep immigrants from Central America out of Mexico. Mexico is upset that the US has considered imprisoning illegal immigrants, while illegal immigration into Mexico can earn you two years behind bars. Mexico is all for legalizing many illegal aliens already in the US, yet grants citizenship to only a tiny number of illegal aliens there. IF Mexico could live up to the expectations they have for the US, I MIGHT feel differently. However, as it is, I see nothing wrong with deportation of illegal aliens.


So, since when is an idea that runs contrary to what YOU believe suddenly considered propaganda? Just because you disagree with his point of view doesn't mean he's been brainwashed by the media into believing what he does, and if I were in his shoes, I'd be angry you'd assume that was the case.

I suppose I hope that America never lives through such hard times that our people start thinking Mexico or Canada, Viet Nam or Somalia is looking good enough to make a try at getting in...

Because your kids are starving, or because the state has not been able to fund schools for 15 years, or because of a huge natural disaster-

I wonder, if it ever did get that bad in America, would those who now protest so vociferously about the current crop of migrants-

Be the first to become the next crop of migrants? Would they offer a testicle to get them in?

Would they remember how uncharitable they are now, when they are seeking charity?

I somehow doubt...

It.

Lets see. We have over 3 million homeless children in America. Most of these living in conditions not all that different from Ethiopia. Average wages in America plummeted from from $45,600 in 2004 to $41,100 in 2005 while the average cost of living rose from $54,000 to $61,000 in the same time span. Some inner cities schools are boasting classes of over 100 students as they just can't afford to pay for teachers. American schools are considered the worst in the industrialized world. Hunger has always been a problem in our slums, but we are starting to see hunger related disease crop up recently. Worse yet, Americas first case of smallpox in 30 years showed up in the NYC getto over the last winter.

Get rid of the illegals and help our own first. I cannot believe that this is even a debate!
