It seems that the ICE has made a boo-boo.
But only in the eyes of pro-illegal immigration groups and the Obama administration.
Immigrant rights groups blasted President Obama on Wednesday for breaking what they called his “personal commitment” to change Bush-era immigration raids after U.S. authorities raided an engine machine shop in Washington state and detained illegal immigrants.
The Obama administration itself seemed taken aback by the raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano vowing to Congress that she would “get to the bottom of this.”
“The secretary is not happy and this is not her policy,” a Homeland Security official said Wednesday evening, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the secretary’s review is ongoing.
White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said “these raids are not a long-term solution.”
They aren’t long term, because the day we don’t have an immigrant crime problem they will end. So the soon the pro-illegal immigration groups stop supporting criminal aliens, the raids will stop.
Unsurprisingly, they don’t see it that way. They would prefer that every city be like those in a third world country.
That’s how Chavez does it in Venezuela.
