Aftermath Effects of Immigration Raid Felt in Community

I fully understand how american born adults may feel about the NEW wave of inmigrants in this country.
Their land, their traditions, their costums and pictoresc towns have all of a sudden been changed, by hordes of short, dark and odd looking people who come from places that before all this happened, they might not even have ever heard of!
But the truth is this: they are inmigrants, such as your fathers and great grandfathers once where, and they have come to this country on the same principle, that your founding fathers so dearly protected in their famously written documents.
If the US of A would've taken action to stop the 'latino invation' in the 70's, it might've just worked. But I do believe firmly that any american dreaming of the nation as it once was, with no latinos coming in, is just doing that: dreaming.
And the USA can not play innocent on this issue. Many, many, many of the Guatemalan and Salvadorean people who came to America, came fleeding from a civil war which was sponsoured by the USA in the first place. Americans enjoyed for decades the position given by their allies' struggles to fight communism on their own soils, never stopping to think for a second, what terrible places these 'freedom fighting' places where to live for the natives.
Did Reagan stop for a second and think of the Guatemalan families who were living in their own land, minding their own business while giving millions to arm the nation against communism?
So my belief is this: you can not put down a People. They have been empovered for decades, so if they have found prosperity in this nation by coming here to work, then so be it, and God bless them for looking for a better future. God Almighty shall protect them for their cause is a good one, and one of Divine justice.
The invasor has been invaded, and there is just nothing that can be done anymore. Any latino who is deported leaving families, money or a job here, will simply cross the boarder again.
If you believe in the God you profess, and if you believe in the very principles this nation was founded upon, then you might have to look at the 'illegals' by a different point of view.
Of all the nations, this was the one founded upon the principle of looking for a better future than that found in their own countries.
Latinos deserve a chance, and they have taken it. Already, they are the biggest minority in America, and their children, are American children. As American, as Mr. Bush, or let's say, as Mr. Obama, another American, son of an inmigrant.
After all, aren't all men created equal?

I could really care less how "sad" this all is. The United States was never meant to be a satellite of Mexico.

Reunite "the children" with their fly blown parents and get rid of them.

To take it even further, I'd like to ask these "diversity" poodles in Hollywood, Washington and New York how many more Third World aliens we should import into the land of our fathers. There are roughly 105 million Mexicans, many with little or no education, living in fly blown poverty, and carrying diseases we had once exterminated in America. Would it be okay with them for all 105 million to join the 20 million-plus already here? There are about 14 million Guatemalans in the same sorry condition as their Mexican counterparts. Could we please allow them all into America with open arms, too? There are 15 million people in the back waters known as Honduras and El Salvador. Would it be "immoral" to not issue an open invitation and the keys to Anytown, USA?

And that's just Central America. How about the rest of the world? In order to be consistent how many of India's 1 billion people -- Communist China's 1.3 billion -- and how many from Africa and the Middle East are we actually supposed to welcome here legally and illegally? When would the nut job multiracialist disciples and their string pullers be satisfied? I think you know the answer. They'll never be satisfied 'til we're wiped out and America comes to resemble the very places these people come from.

Separating the very basis of any civil society: the family will create a generation of American citizens who will want the destruction of their own nation. The fear instilled on a child watching their loving caring hardworking parent being sent away are the very seeds to selfdestruction. Dream Act, comprehensive reform, if not addresed now, it will be this group of citizens who will someday judge the people who stripped their families' lives apart. We are all human beings.

First, I want to address the comment left by “Mike.” I have a co-worker who was a member of management at Pilgrim’s Pride before coming to our company. He said that the majority of the violators were using stolen security numbers which are hard for the employer to verify other than it is a real, registered number. The ICE agents have even said that the IDs and fake social security cards are hard to spot and you have to be trained to be able to detect a fraud. As long as Pilgrim’s Pride can show that they were given documentation then there is no legal recourse that should or could be brought against the company. In fact, the management new about the raid before it happened, so they are in support of the laws. The only way these people are being caught is when the identity theft victim finds out his information has been stolen and the government can get involved to find the criminal responsible. The fact of the matter is, the only people who will do these jobs are illegals because they will take the jobs American’s refuse to do. The work they were doing is filthy, wet, smelly, and cold. How many of you would want to work in those conditions 40 hours a week for next to nothing, with no benefits? The company doesn’t want to pay a lot for this work because it is basic, unskilled labor that anyone could do. The problem is it is hard work, but not hard enough for the company to want to pay more for it. I really don’t think they were hiring illegals in order to pay them less, especially since the majority of the Pilgrim’s Pride plants are unionized and the union negotiates the wages. This is just another example of companies being defrauded and losing a lot of productivity because of lost labor. The news only reported on the employees who were brought into custody. There were a lot of people who didn’t come back after lunch because they were illegal, they just didn’t get their name called. And again, that was just first shift. I have to believe that there were people who could have been caught on other shifts who didn’t show up because they heard what had happened. I don’t often say this, but I think this time the company wasn’t at fault and was really hurt by something over which they had very little actual control.

Hey you guys, all of you are rigth, but... If giving my child the oporutnity for a better future is a crime... then I'm a CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!

You say what about the children? Well these people shouldn't have come here to have children in hopes that they would get anchored here in America just because they had kids here. They broke the law, send them home. If you or I broke the law as blatantly as the illegals in the community/country. We would be doing hard time or get sent home, I am sick of this type stuff. Cry me a river somewhere else, I am tired of feeling like a outsider or outlaw in my own country/community because I want to up hold the law. The fact is that illegals enter this country illegally and then they have the same right and privileges that you or I do. In some cases, they have more rights than we do. It isn't right and something needs to be done about it, IMMEDIATELY!!!!

If the government would prosecute the employers they would not have these problems. Let the people who hire these workers do the time behind bars. It is not the peoples fault they want a job. The man that does the hiring knows he is breaking the law. He speaks English well and knows how to read it as well. Put his rear end in jail for 6 months and see how fast that crap stops. I think we might find that if we follow the money then we will find why he is not going to jail. Tyson's in Alabama has been raided before. And the carpet mills in Dalton. Yet it still seems to be a problem. If the government wanted to stop it they knew how years ago. The bottom line is who has dropped the ball? And why? The ICE agents are trying to do their job but who is it that is not giving them the backing they need? And why? Can the congress and senate pass a law to attack the person or persons that hire these people?

IM GLAD THAT YOU AIRED A REPORT LIKE THIS, I BELIEVE ALOT OF PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE OR DON'T WANT TO REALIZE WHAT A BIG IMPACT THIS IS CAUSING TO THE CHILDREN LEFT BEHIND.IN ALOT OF CASES THESE CHILDREN ARE US CITIZENS.THE QUESTION IS : IS OUR GOVERNMENT READY TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM? PROVIDING PROTECTION AND WELL BEING FOR THESE CHILDREN. AFTERALL THEY ARE CHILDREN!

I would agree with Juan that "the saddest part is the thought of the children of the workers rounded up yesterday". Why do these parents endanger their childrens lives by breaking the laws of the United States knowing that they will one day be caught and returned home. I believe that child welfare should be notified and the children removed from such and irresponsible situation. There would be much less fear if the illegal aliens would return to their home countries and ease the burden of ICE and the U.S. Citizens.
