Children stranded by the parents of this...

More illegal immigrants endanger their children's welfare and security:

Children Stranded in Ark. Immigration Raid

ARKADELPHIA, Ark. - When immigration authorities raided a poultry plant and took away more than 100 employees to face deportation, some workers were able to call home and arrange care for their children. But about 30 children, some as young as 3 months old, were left behind with no parents after the arrests, officials said.

"A lot of those families had kids in day care in different places, and they didn't know why Mommy and Daddy didn't come pick them up," Arkadelphia Mayor Charles Hollingshead said. [...]

What a shame.  No doubt many of these children are American citizens.  Let's hope they have legal relatives here who can be appointed legal guardians.  What a waste coming to America will have been if the deported parents send for their American children once they're back in Mexico.

On one hand I'm happy to FINALLY see a crack down on getting illegal aliens outta here.  On the other hand, we're stuck dealing with their scandalous poor family planning and caring for the children left behind. 

On the bright side, since we are deporting illegals, we'll have fewer in jails.  Instead of building additional correctional facilities, we can fund orphanages for all of the abandoned anchor babies.

Of course, many of the lawbreakers were released to continue violating our laws pending a day in court to plead their case as to why an exception should be made for them.  We released Jose Raul Pena from custory four times, too, and he ended up getting his daughter killed.

How many more lives will our failure to secure the borders and enforce immigration laws claim?

Pena had a used car sales business on Alameda where he was writing sales (loan) contracts with banks and loan companies. He was an illegal immigrant from El Salavador. Doesn't the City Of LA and the State of Ca. require that businesses have licences?
Now that Presidente Bush has greased CAFTA through we will be seeing more displaced Central American farmers working as gardeners in South Central.

Probably. The question is does the city of LA effectively enforce such requirements? Obviously not.

Matters aren't helped by a police chief who believes in fighting crime unless it's committed by an illegal alien. Then it is completely acceptable.

This, of course, brings up a very controversial issue of whether or not anchor babies of illegal aliens should be granted citizenship at all. This issue was addressed on another blog recently, but darned if I don't remember which blog it was. Needless to say, arguments for revoking the 14th amendment guarantee of citizenship for children born in the U.S. if they are born to illegal aliens were incredibly compelling.
