Citizens act as accomplices

Many of our citizenry feel encouraged to read headlines such as, "ICE: Nearly 600 Detained in Mississippi Plant Raid" and "Hundreds Arrested In Iowa Immigration Raid," which suggests that illegal immigration laws are finally being enforced.

  However, many politicians at all levels of government are also encouraged, but only because the headlines do not read, "ICE: Plant Owner/Employers Arrested in Mississippi Plant Raid" and "Plant Owners/Employers Arrested In Iowa Immigration Raid", as all too many of these "Plant Owners/Employers" who knowingly hire illegal aliens are members of Political Action Committees (PAC's) or use other "arrangements" to funnel  large amounts of their profits earned on the backs of illegal immigrants to the campaign funds of these criminal politicians.

  Sadly, our citizenry continues to act as an accomplice in these crimes as we knowingly vote to allow our elected officials to continue these criminal acts.
