Re: ICE Raid Intensifies Fear in the Prince William County Latino Community

I think it is inaccurate to characterize immigration enforcement as an inherently racist enterprise. The anti-native conspiracy theory is really interesting. It sounds like an American Zionism (Anasazism?). I don't like the sound of it.

We all live here now; by your theory do we displace the millions who live on Manhattan and return it to Algonquian nature? Do you think that's justice? 6 million displaced (what percentage of them would end up as place-less refugees?) It sounds like you share the Nazis' and the Zionists' belief that "blood" is a deed to land. By that standard most of the "true" owners of the land died of smallpox, and was left vacant. Your theory is dangerous, absolutist and has historically produced more death than prosperity.

The ICE raids are a terribly inefficient way to deal with the problem. The only way to fix this problem is to put every ICE, INS and state/local law enforcement officer currently hunting illegal immigrants on the trail of the employers who hire them. When American service industries begin to deal with the fact that one offense will put them out of business for good, there wont be very many illegal immigrants around anymore.

That is the only path to real progress for American workers.

I think there should be ICE stationed at the entrance to every new housing development in Virginia checking papers, and it should be the employer that gets the fine not the immigrant. 1st offense: $10,000 2nd offense: $20,000 3rd offense: $50,000 and the revocation of business license.
