Burning Atlanta

There is no depth of deceit nor groundless claim too outrageous for the boo-hoo brigade's use in their quest to halt all enforcement against illegal aliens. Here's a typical pandering candy-assed democrat playing to the home crowd of criminals and their supporters.

Gestapo

Farr made the remark Tuesday when Immigration and Customs Enforcement Chief Julie Meyers was addressing concerns about federal raids of illegal immigrants before the House Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, which Farr sits on.

"What happens is the public image of you becomes one of not this compassionate law enforcement agency but essentially a Gestapo-type agency that is knocking down doors," Farr said, according to preliminary transcripts of the hearing. Since when are police supposed to be all warm and fuzzy as they lock up criminals? Actually, from what I've seen, ICE bends over backwards for illegals. I tend to think citizens wouldn't get such treatment.

Meyers interrupted Farr and said: "We are not the Gestapo."

Rep. Harold Rogers, a Kentucky Republican, also chimed in, "These are proud, hard-working people."

Replied Farr: "I appreciate that, and I know that. I'm just telling you that there is a very ill will public opinion in the counties I represent about ICE."  Too damned bad. Tell those in your community they need to stop condoning criminals.

Santa Cruz County has been one of the targets of ICE's "Return to Sender" operation, a crackdown that has picked up more than 100 illegal immigrants with criminal warrants during the past two years. Ewww, a whole one hundred in two years? "Massive round-ups."
