It's not legal or illegal immigration that's the crux of the problem here, thought it is a related problem, it's the rights of citizens & non citizens. It's not about terrorism, it's about the type of erosion of our civil liberties, the constant knawing away at our freedoms, freedom of speach, the right to work without fear, the right to assembly, & our protections against the infringments on these rights. This is not about a group of people being targeted this is about an attack on the righs of all Americans. Soon we won't have the ability to protest these infringments if we stay on this path. This is only happening in the work place now but it will move & spread to other areas or our lives & it will start to become more inclusive or others rather than just Mexicans & Latinos. Fear of snakes is unreasonable but it's not unreasonable to fear the poisonious ones or the ones that would cursh you. One needs to know what it is that we need to fear & in this case it is that we are losing our rights, our freedoms & our way of life. This is not about border patrols or fences, it's not about immigration, it's not about terrorism but you can throw all those things into this to muddy the waters. This is about how this government treats it's people, ALL it's people. When you unjustly harm one of us it is an affront to us all. You cannot treat the symptoms, we need to seek the root of the problem & correct it, not with knee-jerk reactions like these raids & these are criminal actions. There was a time when we needed just cause, a warrant for reasonable cause to search or raid, this was not a coke factory.

My Brother-In -Law is Porto Rican, vice president of a very well to do bank, he looks as if he could be Mexican, his daughter, my niece does she now have to fear being rounded up in a raid on her work place. She does now if she's working with a lot of other Latinos. She has a justifyable fear now & so do I. They are citizens, they were born citizens, there parents were born citizens. This is a blow to the nation not just to those that aren't white. This is what we brings us to are knees, it's not immigration or terrorism we need to fear it's ourselves, we are our own worst enemy & that's a weakness anyone can exploite, espically from within, it has mostly been expolited from within.

I'm just plain dam sick & tired of this shit, were are the WMD when you realy need them.
