In an attempt to pacify those of us upset that our federal dollars are being spent to sue the State of Arizona for enforcing the law, the Obama Administration has introduced "silent raids." They tout the fact that they have levied fines of $3 million against companies employing illegals.
They say the silent raids are much more effective than the Bush Administration round-ups where a single business would be targeted and all the illegals rounded up. "Instead of hundreds of agents going after one company, now one agent can go after hundreds of companies," said Mark K. Reed, president of Border Management Strategies, a consulting firm.
But here's the little part they're leaving out. The Bush Administration round-ups actually rounded up illegals and deported them. The silent raids fine companies and require them to fire the illegals. That's all. Not one illegal has been deported under the silent raid strategy. "Even if discovered, illegal aliens are allowed to walk free and seek employment elsewhere," said Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama. Is this nuts?
