Kennedy, Menendez Bill Would Restrict Raids "With federal authorities stepping up immigration Comments
It didn`t take the corporate puppet politicians long, to try and stop immigration enforcement... We have unemployment for Americans on the rise, and a weak economy, and these clowns in Washington are still doing all they can for illegal aliens. It`s just mind boggling how these useless traitor politicians keep on getting re-elected over and over again.
Posted by: American Me on October 15, 2008 12:39 PM Screw that! If a legal is knowingly working next to a known illegal then they should be detained until such time as citizenship can be assertained! Tough munchees if they get caught! They deserve it! I have no pity for any of these people! Nor would I have any sympathy for an employer - they should be shut down, fined and jailed! These past raids in which children were brought to the raid site to attempt to pursuade ICE agents that these children would lose their care - oh well! I believe that is what we pay CPS for. Send Pedro and Maria back home. If they want to take their child with them; let them! Posted by: Sick 'n Tired on October 15, 2008 01:30 PM Sounds nice on the face of it, but if you really are an American citizen or legal resident, what is it you need to remain "silent" about? Don't you want to say I'm a citizen, but I don't have my papers or proof with me, but my social security number is such and such and you can look it up, I have nothing to hide. I can't imagine a single legitimate reason that a citizen or legal resident needs to remain silent. Now, if you're not here legally, you might not want to say anything, but that should not be acceptable. Posted by: Leland on October 15, 2008 02:23 PM BABY WITH BATH WATER In this case we do throw the illegal alien baby out with the legal citizen bath water....since the illegal alien employers mixed 'em together, what choice do we have, except to lock the illegal alien employer up, Kennedy? Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 16, 2008 11:10 AM In 1954, when the decision in Brown vs. The Board of Education came down from the Supreme Court, Thurgood Marshall and other civil rights attorneys and activists felt they had achieved their goal of ending racial discrimination. Many were trying to decide what new career paths they would follow. They soon learned however that "all deliberate speed" [to end segregation] would require fifty or more years of activism. When the US economy hit bottom and I read that many illegal aliens were going home, I mistakenly thought we were at a watershed. Surely Menendez would not try to piggy back 500,000 visas on the back of E-verify now. BUT NO,like the racists after the Brown decision, he and others of his ilk are not giving up. There are simply taking a different approach. Wearily but with firm determination, I will continue the fight for my country. Posted by: Hessie L. Harris on October 16, 2008 11:17 AM What's new? Both of the "open border crazies" want to displace American workers and import more crime and poverty. Posted by: Rick S on October 16, 2008 04:24 PM I was in a raid at mt work place about 15 years ago. I'm a Us citizen and it didn't bother me a bit so show proff that I was a US Citizen. Chamber of commerce and the hotel and resturant people all are looking for cheap labor and he fear that this people have of turnimg in an employer who is abusing them.

enforcement raids across the country, Sens. Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and Robert Menendez of New Jersey are sponsoring a bill to protect the rights of U.S. citizens and legal residents who get caught up in them," the AP reported. "The two Democratic lawmakers argue that the raids are often conducted in a sweeping fashion that nets lawful residents and American citizens who happen to be working alongside undocumented immigrants. Those who can't produce papers such as a birth certificate or passport proving U.S. citizenship or legal residency are often detained. The legislation would require immigration agents to advise people being detained of their rights, including the option of remaining silent or seeking legal counsel, similar to what police officers must do in arresting criminal suspects."
