"Who Will They Come For Next?"

Some lovely hyperbole here

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.

They accused the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement of "racial profiling," or selective enforcement against Hispanics, for arresting 1,300 workers on immigration violations in December 12 raids at meatpacking plants in six states.

"This unfortunately reminds me of when Hitler began rounding up the Jews for no reason and locking them up," Democratic Party activist Carla Vela said. "Now they're coming for the Latinos, who will they come for next?"

Hmm, let's see. Hitler rounded up native, natural born citizens of his country; that's people who were born there and whose families had been there for hundreds of years for you playing along at home. Oh, and then he killed them.

And the people who were rounded up at these plants here? Illegal immigrants who violated laws to get here, who in many cases stole identities to get their jobs. And somehow I don't think Chimpy has put them in rail cars to send them off to AshKKKroftwitz.

I'm getting God-cursed tired of this Hitler/Nazi crap being thrown out constantly to try to protect a bunch of damn criminals.

She's right, you know. It's not right to single out Mexicans when there are God-knows-how-many Lithuanian wetbacks working the meatpacking circuit.

How absurd that we would attempt to locate, incarcerate and deport illegal entrants, huh? A travesty! What could the motivation possible be? Sovereignty? Security? Actual enforcement of existing laws? Why can't we take a lesson from some of these other countries who ignore their own borders and let anyone in? ...like, ummmm.... Mexico? Ah, no wait...
