Who's Running Immigration? New York Times Editorial What's your opinion?

I would like to know for statistics and a global class if you can give me your opinion on this Editorial posted in the New York Times on immigration.
Immigration enforcement ran off the rails in the Bush era, when federal agents stormed factories to shackle workers and local authorities staged their own crackdowns with little or no oversight from Washington. It was a war without a plan, and it solved nothing.

President Obama has repeatedly promised to take a smarter path. But if he and the homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, are making a clean break with the Bush way on immigration, we haven’t seen it yet. That shambling machinery lurches on.
Two recent examples tell the story.
The first was a large, peaceful protest in Phoenix on Saturday. Thousands stood up to the feared sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio, who has brutally misused his powers under a program called 287(g). It enlists local police as immigration enforcers. He has terrorized Latino neighborhoods with relentless sweeps and has paraded shackled immigrants through the streets.
When she was the Arizona governor, Ms. Napolitano was an outspoken supporter of delegating neglected federal immigration duties to local authorities. Sheriff Arpaio is an example of that concept run amok. He has seldom been challenged as forcefully as he was on Saturday — not by government but by a dogged organizer, Salvador Reza, a few clergy members and politicians and thousands of people who dared to say: Enough.
The other example was the first workplace immigration raid of the Obama administration, late last month in Bellingham, Wash. More than two dozen people were arrested at a family-run company that rebuilds car engines. They were charged with the usual paperwork offenses. The company said it was blindsided, and so was Ms. Napolitano. She said she had not known about the raid in advance and promised an investigation.
Americans who might applaud any crackdown on illegal immigrants, particularly in a recession, should know that scattershot raids and rampaging sheriffs are not the answer. The idea that enforcement alone will eliminate the underground economy is a great delusion. It runs up against the impossible arithmetic of mass expulsion — no conceivable regime of raids will wrench 12 million illegal immigrants from their jobs and homes.
The country is not a safer or better place because one more business and two dozen more families are torn apart outside Seattle or because Sheriff Arpaio has much of Maricopa County terrified. The system under which illegal immigrants labor, without hope of assimilation, is not any less broken. A new report from the Government Accountability Office shows that federal oversight of the 287(g) program has been sorely lacking.
So, a question: Are Mr. Obama and Ms. Napolitano in charge or not? Let them show it by ending the raids and Sheriff Arpaio’s abuses. Something has to be done about immigration, but it has to be smarter than this.

Essentially, you have written an essay without a single supporting document, and you don't look good at all in what you have written. You do that in Mexico.. not the United States. Nor have you been particularly inclusive in discussing the issues. One particular issue that is critical in this discussion is the fact that the illegal aliens are killing some six American Citizens for every one of the illegal aliens killed. The illegal aliens are being killed in robberies, while the Americans are being killed while the illegal aliens are robbing.
This site.. all by itself, raises volumns of critical questions that you and your ilk refuse to address. The fact that the Mexican Government is supporting such a staggering lobby effort is outragous. The fact that the Catholic Church is involved in tearing down the Immigration Laws of my country is probably the most worrisom of all the event that have begun to creat a country with a lot of questions to answer.

You have made accusations against Arpaio and of all the things you have pointed to, this is the most glaring error. Napolitano is not, and never has, supported Sheriff Joe Arpaio, yet when Arpaio was allowed to follow his course, he stopped the guns on the streets of Phoenix, and made Phoenix somehing other than the car jacking center of the world..... WORLD, and by illegal aliens.
On and on. An excellent source for those interested in understanding the full story may well want to go to

It is well documented, and says it far better than most. Please.. read it.
===========================
I just checked my links.. they work well. Please.. read them, and understand that figure that tells us the cost of incarcarating all the illegal aliens. |

If your fiqures are true 12 million illegal immigrants from their jobs and homes.This would mean if we deport them 12 million new jobs would open up for legal citizens.At a time when jobs loses are mounting up in Jan over 597,000,In feb over 6000,000 thousand jobs were lost we need to stop worrying about illegals our own people need help.Let Mexico bailout their people not us. |

What kind of smarter path do you suggest? The only way to get rid of illegals is to deport them and make them not want to come back. |

Good grief, it's been six weeks or so. You have to give Napolitano at least six months to get a handle on a bloated, unwieldly agency. There must be too many competing priorities--she is known for decisive action, so I hope this year she can turn the department around. |

Immigration is smarter than this, the people running our country are not, enforce our laws, send illegal aliens out of our country through attrition. |

I think they ought to do what they did in 1953. Start operation wet back. Put it back in force. Send all 12 million back to Mexico. We got enough buses and tractor trailers in this country to do it. Send their brats back with them. |
