September 1, 2015

The sweep produced a record number of arrests for a four-day sting. All of the foreign nationals who were arrested have criminal records, and most have at least one felony conviction. Some have sexual abuse convictions.

All of the people arrested have pending deportation orders or have returned to the United States after being deported, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The vast majority of those arrested — 191 of 244  —are from Mexico.

Immigration agents made arrests in a total of six counties. Agents arrested 99 illegal immigrants in Los Angeles County.

With 55 arrests, Orange County had the second most arrests. Agents made 43 arrests in San Bernardino County and 24 in Riverside County.

San Luis Obispo County and Santa Maria have made national headlines in recent weeks due to two violent assaults committed by illegal immigrants with extensive criminal history.

In SLO County, a Paso Robles man is accused of nearly beating to death a toddler. The man was let out of jail after his arrest, and then he did not show up to court.

In the other case, an illegal immigrant is accused of sexually assaulting and murdering a Santa Maria woman. The attack occurred just days after he was released from jail.

The killing of Cal Poly grad Cathryn Steinle in San Francisco garnered even more attention. Steinle also was allegedly murdered by an illegal immigrant with an extensive criminal record who had just been let out of jail.

Sounds like Trump has already started on his campaign promiss. Campaign reform too has already been put in check by his “matter of fact” approach where he confesses how it is really done. Thank you Trump for political incorrectness and how it mirrors with telling the truth.

If my house is broken into thousands of times, should I breathe a sigh of relief when one of the perpetrators who broke into my home is caught, or should I fortify the locks and security system of my home?

All of them have been deported before. So will they do something different to them this time? They should at least put them on a chain gang for a few months or maybe break some bones. Why does ICE have guns? They don’t use them so why should we pay for them. Better yet why are we paying salaries for ICE? Oh, that’s right, so they can draw pensions. I want a government job! Being a law abiding, tax paying citizen is the only raw deal this government gives.

What makes you think these people work when they can get free food, subsidized housing, a driver’s license, free schooling and free breakfast and lunch for their kids, free clothes and backpacks for their kids from charitable groups, low-income breaks on their electric bills, they drive with no insurance, free medical care at the ER, etc….


Nice job Immigration, can you do this again every day? It’s about time!

Imagine that…and it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

And they were all let go when they promised not to do it again…

Sorry to break it to you, they don’t have to promise not to do it again, all they have to do is promise to vote Democrat.

Coming here to work is a myth. They come here to deal drugs, steal, create mayhem and collect the free taxpayer provided benefits that the fools in Washington and Sacramento give to them.


Every single individual rounded up had a criminal record.


Work, indeed.
