Foolestroupe - Yes, that's what I was trying to determine. Here's the scenario the way I see it: For his first 7 years in office, George W. Bush did nothing about illegal immigration. He seemed to be happy to see as many people come into the country as could get here, driving American wages into the toilet and providing the lowest cost workers possible for the benefit of his cronies in various businesses and industries. But over the course of the last several months, the ICE Raids have become bigger and more frequent. In that last one in Mississippi they rounded up almost 600 people. They've even begun to charge managers and human resource people.
The question is: what's changed and why are they doing it now?
