Immigration cherade designed to appease American citizens
Another symbolic raid. No substantial progress will be made with the illegal alien problem until the border wall is built and our border is secured and enforced. Don’t buy the Bush role-playing: we are being invaded by Mexico and our government will not stop it!
CINCINNATI (Reuters) - U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said more than 160 employees were arrested at a Koch Foods Inc. chicken plant in Fairfield, Ohio, on Tuesday as part of a criminal operation against illegal immigrants employed at the plant.
“As of 2:45 p.m. (EDT) more than 180 Koch employees have been identified for further questioning and more than 160 have been administratively arrested for immigration violations,” ICE special agent in charge Brian Moskowitz told a news conference in Cincinnati.

Whatever you may think about undocumented immigrants coming into the United States, a border wall will not have any impact. It will cost anywhere from $7 billion to $46 billion, and the Border Patrol says that it will only slow down a crosser by 5 minutes, not stop anyone. The Congressional Research Service found that the walls in California and Arizona have had no impact on the number of people living in the US illegally. For the false sense of security that a border wall provides the feds will condemn the private property of hundreds of people who farm, ranch, and live along the Rio Grande. Down here the river is the only source of water because close to the Gulf of Mexico the groundwater is too brackish to drink or irrigate with. Cut people off from the river and over a million US citizens will have to pack up and move north.
