John Conyers and ICE enforcement

I am absolutely puzzled! I recently read that immigration reform advocates, including Democrats like Chairman John Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee are calling for an end to Immigration and Customs raids at businesses that knowingly hire large numbers of illegal aliens. See why I’m puzzled? It doesn’t make any sense, does it?

What if law enforcement was watching a business which ended up illegally making drugs that were hurting people in our country? Would we claim that law enforcement should not raid that kind of place?

So now that I’ve posed some questions, try some of these facts that are actually happening. There was a report out of the Center for Immigration Studies last week showing that raids along with other enforcement methods are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing; reducing the number of foreigners illegally working and residing in the United States.

The illegal population has decreased by over one million persons in the past year. In fact, with the deportations, and self-deportations going on, the report states clearly that if this decline is sustained, it will reduce the illegal population by half in the next five years.

So why, then do people like Congressman John Conyers call these raids part of a “brutal, payback, gotcha” agenda being pursued by the United States government? No, Congressman. It would only be that if this were being done to law-abiding citizens who were living law-abiding lives. To equate them with those who are not is a lie. There is no brutality here, or payback, but there is gotcha.

In the end, lawful citizens are not puzzled so much as they are getting just outraged by your kind of pick and choose attitude on what to enforce in this land. The only “gotcha” that is involved is the fact that people are starting to see what hypocritical charlatans people like you actually are. I’m Gary Sutton.
