Hispanic Groups Call For Moratorium On Work Raids

Hispanic groups call for moratorium on work raids

Maybe these hispanic groups should call for a moratorium on illegal immigration.

This isn't the first time I've heard the enforcement of our immigration laws get compared to Nazi Germany. Here is the big, important difference: Jews in Nazi Germany were basically being arrested simply because they were Jews. Illegal immigrants and the companies that knowingly hire them are getting busted for breaking very legitimate laws.

The reason it seems like hispanics are being singled out is because, for obvious reasons of geography, most illegals in this country are probably hispanic. Canadians generally don't have much reason to flee their country, and it's not like millions of Russians are sneaking into America by swimming the Bering Strait.
