I'm not fond of them, even though they are trendy.<br />The sweeps get worse daily, and I read today that the president is thinking of mobilizing 100,000 troops for that purpose. The border is already saturated with Border Patrol and ICE. What is he thinking of ? Oh, right, he's not thinking.<br />The effects to our economy will be devastating.judyalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767466505891813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975557.post-76965174731136046562017-02-22T15:11:16.278-08:002017-02-22T15:11:16.278-08:00Anonymous is out of line and incorrect. Today'...Anonymous is out of line and incorrect. Today's news is full of the "expanded" powers of ICE and of people who've committed misdemeanors or done nothing at all being rounded up. This new sweep is not limited to Latinos. <br /><br />Judy, I love your high tea--just wish I'd been there. Makes me want to bake scones. :-)<br /><br />Ellis (Google doesn't let me use my name)Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312345658108248300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975557.post-16162805830724010352017-02-20T07:53:36.635-08:002017-02-20T07:53:36.635-08:00This is the second nasty response from " Anon...This is the second nasty response from " Anonymous" that I have seen on your blog.

I'm not sure who you are, hiding behind anonymous, but I question your right to discuss my children or where I choose to live. I am all for deporting those who have committed crimes but NOT those who have been contributing citizens and built fruitful lives. I have read news reports of ICE agents getting aover-zealous in the sweeps--besides, that's a little like shooting goldfish in a bucket. judyalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13767466505891813090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975557.post-77474107530906016302017-02-20T07:22:46.664-08:002017-02-20T07:22:46.664-08:00"immigration sweeps that arrest anyone Latino..."immigration sweeps that arrest anyone Latino, regardless of their immigration or law-abiding status"<br /><br />That is a blatant lie. There are not enough resources to arrest anyone who looks "latino" (BTW two of your kids "look latino", so they need me to go bail them out?). The focus is criminal aliens. ICE has stacks upon stacks of aliens that need to be removed due to SERIOUS CRIMES they have committed. Let me get this straight, you cross into the United States illegally and commit a crime(s), yet are surprise when the law comes after you?...that's rich!<br />If you feel so at one with these law breakers, why don't you live on the other side of seventh street? perhaps a little closer to Hemphill?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
