This action makes it look as if the government is doing something about illegal immagration, pure & simple, IT IS NOT, it puts the focus on the Latino community & espically the Mexican/American as an ethnic group but tosses in any Latino in the process (this is how the republicans win the Latinio vote???) & use them as the scapegoat because it wants to blame illegal immigration for it's poor economics, it's poor health care system, it's poor educational system & espically it's poor economic growth & it wants to control them as a labor pool. Blame the Mexicans, Hitler (& our bastards are no better than the SS's) did this with the Jews. We are not doing anything about illegal immagration except blame them for our own faults nor do we intend to do anything aside from building fences for show & raiding some companies like vikings. Homeland Security, bullshit! We want & need these immagrants they support our economy & we can't do without them but they are also a problem in the eyes of the public only because of the spin that's put on the situation, THEY PRESENT NO HARM to our economy, they actually help it, to their own costs. We could do more & do better but that would not suit our wants, disires & profit margins nor would it do us good to give them any say or voting rights that would give them a say in how their lives are led. If you take the politics & big business issues out of the immagration equation the issue would become a whole lot simpler & clearer. If we need workers & they are willing to work, wait & prove themselves & contruibte then let them become citizens, easy, but not when you start thinking about where they're votes might fall & how they won't be as easily taken advantage of anymore, then it starts getting difficult.

As far as I'm concerned these are human & civil rights violations, not only of our own laws but also of international law, as well as laws pertaining to torture. Who the fuck does this government think they are to violate our Constitution, our Amendments & our Bill of Rights like this. This is a crime against all of us, it affects all of us, those are OUR RIGHTS that they are in violation of NO MATTER WHAT EXCUSE THEY USE, or who they are focusing on, they belong to US. DON'T TREAD ON ME!
