Earlier this week the city of New Haven Connecticut officially started to condone law breaking by making New Haven a "Sanctuary City" for illegal immigrants and even offered them official cards so that they could use city services and conduct other business transactions. Two days later ICE officials conducted raids that resulted in the arrest of 31 illegal immigrants. New Haven's mayor DeStefano and those who support continued ignoring of U.S. Immigration laws where shocked that the ICE agents might actually enforce the laws that are written. Well, I was shocked too that Homeland Security is finally starting to enforce our laws. That is what is supposed to happen and this is the right way to do it. I agree with those who say we just can't round up twelve million illegals in this country overnight.But, these 12 million did not just come here overnight either. Many came in groups of ten, twenty etc.. or over stayed their visa's and that is how they should be arrested and deported. There are consequences for breaking our laws and the sympathy arguments by the pro illegal groups do not justify lack of respect for U.S. laws. Here is the money quote:
"There is truly no safe haven for fugitive aliens,' said Marc Raimondi, a spokesman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal agency that conducted the raid."
My sentiments exactly! There are millions of people currently outside of the country who would gladly come in LEGALLY to work and take the place of the illegals in places like New Haven if those in Washington would come up with the mechanism for them to do it. You don't have to and should not reward illegals here with amnesty. In the meantime enforce our immigration laws as ICE did in New Haven have this week. And what about those businesses that hired them? Yeah enforcment of our laws should raise the fear level of those who break them. Let's hope the Federal Government does more enforcment
