They also found it rains a lot in Seattle
I’m always impressed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s ability to make a big deal out of finding handfuls of illegal aliens. This time around ICE has rounded up 60 illegal aliens employed at “several critical infrastructure locations.” Big round of applause for ICE! Dudes, you could round up 60 illegals by stopping a bus or two in Eastie or Framingham.
It’s interesting how ICE’s position on who should be rounded up shifts back and forth. When the police in New Ipswich in New Hampshire arrested an illegal alien from Mexico for trespassing the Icemen couldn’t have cared less. Writes Yvonnes Abraham in the Boston Globe:
A spokesman, Manny Van Pelt, said that immigration officers would normally detain an undocumented noncitizen who had committed a crime or had been previously deported, but only after they had determined that he was in the country illegally. A local police chief in New Hampshire, he said, was not authorized to make that decision.
So are the 60 illegal aliens mentioned above going to be deported or not? If not, why the heck is the agency beating its chest? If they are going to be deported, why not the illegal alien in New Ipswich in the deal?
