Hispanic groups call for moratorium on work raids
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Hispanic groups and activists on Thursday called for a moratorium on workplace raids to round up illegal immigrants, saying they were reminiscent of Nazi crackdowns on Jews in the 1930s.
You know what I would really like to ban in this country? Activists groups!
ULAC, the oldest and largest Hispanic group in the country with 115,000 members, said workplace raids would cause families to be separated if the arrested immigrants were deported and also would hurt the U.S. economy.
"Every labor-intensive industry including the hospitality, construction, agriculture and restaurant industries will be adversely impacted if these raids continue," Rosales said.
Hmm, that's kind of funny. Are these people ignoring the fact that Americans, LEGAL Americans, were lined up to fill out job applications at Swift just days after the raids? Jobs that Americans supposedly didn't want? Or that there's a lawsuit pending against Swift accusing them of hiring illegals vs. legal citizens so Swift didn't have to pay such high wages?
