Yes… I still wonder way they didn’t do it.

Geldain & Jeffrey,

Food for though guys: with all these protests yesterday & today, don’t you think they could have rounded up & arrested a good chunk of the illegal immigrant population?

But I’ll bite anyway. 😃

All it takes is one beer vendor to set-up a cart and you get i.d. checks for everyone wanting to enter the designated protest area.

I have some ideas why they have not been rounding up some folks.

One idea was actually articulated by whatever law enforcement branch is in charge of illegals. He said that the paperwork involved in apprehending an illegal, assessing the file, and deporting him/her is stupendous. With shortages of personnel, there is a fear that legitimate applications for immigration – and refugee status – will wrongly be held up.

The other idea goes something like this: Personally I think the writing is on the wall as regards Integration Chapter Two. Whatever troubles the Mexican government has down there has to be resolved so that folks can find work and pay for housing, food, healthcare, schooling, and so on.

If they are not addressing these troubles adequately, then we have to. Because as long as people can’t work, then they will keep coming over that border illegally. So we need to be aggressive about trade; we need to be aggressive about continental work permits and the adjunct housing, schooling, and healthcare that goes along with that.

Now you see the enormity of the job.

We can no longer be isolationist about this because of the War on Terror. Perimeter defence must be agreed upon soon. Perimeter defence goes hand in hand with continental work permits and trade and the adjunct social supports. I reckon some really serious pressure has to be put on the Mexican government. Fast.

Once these two pillars or Integration Chapter Two are in place, then it is much easier to enforce drug laws and anti-terrorist laws. Why? Because millions fewer people are hiding out and logjamming the caseloads.

Finally, I think you are seeing an example being allowed to happen. I think you are seeing administrators (granted, not all) saying OK have your say, introduce your compromise bills, and then let’s negotiate for the long term. Various solutions have to be aired and seen to fail before those with vision can prevail.
 
Sorry, there is no way you are going to round up 12 million people unless you can figure out a way for many of them to leave on their own.
