After reading the article on CNN internet, I wonder why the major is so upset, because of this ICE raid, now legal Americans and those legal to work here will have jobs, they also will pay taxes and contribute to the economy. Does he only want illegals to have that privilege?
ICE is finally doing their job, whether it is in LA or else in the USA, they are protecting Americans from losing their identities and enforcing the Laws. Kudos to ICE

Can you forward this message on to your major? Checking to see if we come from the same family line? My father’s father was Elmer Penrod from Kansas. I understand two brothers came from England, one went further West and the other settle in Penn. area. Penrod is not that common around here. My father was Curtis John Penrod born in Weir.Ks 1910 died July 1965 San Francisco, CA. He had 12 brothers and 1 sister.

What is it about ILLEGAL Postville, Iowa does not understand? They people here illegally should have been deported years ago! Guess the good ole boys were happy to have them so they could pay substandard wages to these illegal immigrants instead of hiring Americans!

About time INS raided them I hope INS keeps going back every 60 days and keep them free of Illegals.

I am a refugee from the city of Chicago, a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. My former neighborhood, a gateway community for more than a hundred years is now a barrio. All the thriving “gringo” business are gone, for lack of business, replaced by substandard “mom and pops” and by street vendors and flea markets. Signs and billboards are not even bilingual, all in Spanish. Entry-level jobs such as those in banks and medical facilities are reserved for Spanish-speakers. Schools are overcrowded and underfunded, but they can’t be built fast enough. Grafitti is everywhere. So is trash. Alley rats are no longer under control. The police district my family lived in for some 80 years traditionally had one of the lowest crime rates in the city. By the time we had to move, it skyrocketed to the point where we could hear gunshots out of our windows and the newspapers didn’t even bother to report the killing. We listened to police reports on a scanner so we’d know where not to go. And these people have the nerve to protest when they get caught? Spare me the crocodile tears for families torn apart. These people are illegal. If they get a pass, we may as well open our jail cells and let the criminals out. Their families are torn apart, too.

Illegal aliens are just that, ILLEGAL. “We are a nation of immigrants” is always the cry of the far left. It should be, “We are a nation of LEGAL immigrants.”

Kudos to Immigration and I would hope the good people of Iowa will honor and respect the Immigration laws rather than coddling law breakers. I do believe the majority of fine Iowans are descendants of LEGAL European immigrants?
