the deliberate destruction of our legal framework by an out-of-control executive.

Are there any hearings into this raid? I doubt it, because NONE of our craven politicians wants to go near the whole immigration "third rail". So, the Unitary Executive boys have chosen well again - they have created a brand new "gray area" of the law (mixing immigration and criminal law) in a political no-go zone.

Will the candidates talk about this? Not unless they want to commit suicide.

Will DU talk about it? I'm beginning to think not. Much easier to bash the obvious villains - church shooters, crooked bankers, greedy oil men.

This is a tough topic, full of complexities that invite people to "pick a side and start fighting".

For example, what is the takeaway from "nuking" these poor 400 souls? That we will do that to all 12 million illegals? That its open season for anyone to rip off illegals? That illegals have no rights at all? That illegals are the new "Muslims"?

How is responsibility for being an illegal employee divided? The NPR show said that some companies actually hand out plane tickets and meet the slaves at the airport. OTOH, the slaves know they are going to be illegal. Why don't we prosecute owners?

This whole thing is such a mess. And now, its a mess being used to further subvert the law.
