bighairymike,

What the ProGlib social media types don't want to acknowledge is that ICE is (rather obviously) trying to target neighborhoods and some businesses that have disproportionately high percentages of illegal aliens vs. U.S. citizens or legal residents.

This is not at all shocking, it's just common sense and an efficient use of resources.

The perfect example is the I-9 raid at the Allston MA car wash a couple of weeks back. At first the MSM and the lawyer for the 9 illegals who were detained were trying to claim that they all had valid I.D.s in their work lockers and ICE wouldn't let the go to their lockers. Surprise, most recently their lawyer simply said "they are entitled to due process", not "they are in the U.S. and working in the U.S. validly." No news reports about these supposed valid working papers or green cards. You would think the lawyer could have gotten the I.D. out of their lockers by now.

It's a bunch of nonsense, really. Detaining people costs a lot of money and other resources and there is no earthly reason ICE would have to deliberately waste those resources. (Plus they would be subject to lawsuits.)

Besides, all legally present non-U.S.citizens are required to carry their green cards on their persons.

But if it's just U.S. citizens and they are concerned about being mistaken for an illegal alien, might that be because they are working with illegal aliens; assisting the illegal aliens to evade ICE enforcement; harboring illegal aliens; or what? Sure if you work at a car wash with a bunch of illegals, and you're worried you might be mistaken for one because obviously a place employing lots of illegals might be a target for ICE, then carry your passport, driver's license, or whatever.

What's the big deal?
