Fixing The Wrong Problem!

It must be backwards year in the United States. Observe:

Obama eliminating illegals, one raid at a time

You know… eliminating them by making their status legal. The first ICE raid of the Obama administration netted 28 illegals… who were promptly issued work permits. But who cares about methods? The point is the Obama administration is taking care of the illegal immigration problem.

According to the immigrants, a small army of federal agents surrounded Yamato Engine Specialists in Bellingham Washington, and began searching for workers who could not show they had authorization to work in the United States.

Upon learning of the raid, Janet Napolitano immediately promised to “get to the bottom of it.” And she did.

“Under the Obama administration, we didn’t expect it to happen that people would be dragged out in handcuffs,” said Rosalinda Guillen, a Bellingham immigrant rights advocate.

Many in the area strongly opposed the raid, Guillen said.

“This is a really heavy Obama-supporting county,” she said. “So a lot of folks here had been in involved in the election.” Immediately after the raid, she said, “the calls, the e-mails started and networks were activated.”

Guillen said the controversy over the raid was featured heavily on Hispanic radio stations and that a charity called Los Niños Fund was created to help the children of the jailed immigrants.

… But Rosalinda Guillen said people in the pro-immigrant rights community were heartened by the fact that shortly after Napolitano ordered a review of the Bellingham case the immigrant workers who were still in immigration detention were released.

“I was just flabbergasted,” Guillen said. And the same immigration agents who had arrested the workers, she said, now promised them visas that would allow them to work temporarily in the U.S.

“Homeland Security drove them to the place where they had to go to fill out the paperwork for the work permits,” she said “That is totally unheard of.”

De facto amnesty, as Ira Mehlman of the Federation for American Immigration Reform calls it. It gets even better -

Several of the workers who were arrested said immigration agents have asked if they suffered any abuse while working for Yamato.

Is ICE now pimping for unions and trial lawyers?

I suppose that's one way of reducing illegal immigration, but...wouldn't you agree with me that this is fixing the wrong problem?? Yet more proof that the Obama administration and its supporting cast of liberal wackos have zero intention of honoring the Constitution, following established law, or protecting Americans first.

Where is the sanity and common sense anymore?

There's my two cents.
