BIG immigration raid in Richmond last week (you may very well believe this)

[underpants]

So I am getting a haircut this morning and the conversation ends up around the construction going on downtown-NEW Federal courts building and a Fine Arts center including a refurbished Carpenter Center.

Turns out they had a BIG immigration raid there last week. Well at the Federal Courts Building anyway. The guy who owns the barbershop tells me that the "Mexicans" came screaming around the corner in full out sprint all over the place. Quite a sight to see.

So two key points here

First- this new Federal Courts building (will be the site of future terrorist trials they say) was a FEDERAL contruction site. I don't know if it came out of the DoJ budget or GSA or what but basically ICE, the Feds, busted their own, the Feds, construction site. :eyes:

Second- IT WAS BASICALLY FINISHED ANYWAY. I mention that I had happened to have been by there two weeks ago and saw that they had the trees delivered and ready to be planted. The barbershop guy agreed, basically all that is left to do is some landscaping.

Woohoo!! they had themselves a raid on their own project and AFTER it was 99% finished.

Now THAT'S government inaction!!!!

1. I've read something like this before where at the end of a project where

illegals are used they raid it so they will not have to pay as the people are too afraid to come back and ask for money owed.

3. Apparently the neigboring site, the Fine Arts center, NO ONE showed up for work the next day

the bust was at the Fed. Courts building. No one was around the next day at the other site.

2. It's called cost cutting

Just think, all the illegals that were arrested won't have to be paid, thereby saving money.

4. Immigration raid today in North East Iowa

In the town of Postville. The "detainees" will likely be tranported to BlackHawk County where the grounds of the National Cattle Congress were leased by the Feds and where all windows and fences have been covered, blocked.



Please pray for the workers and the children likely to once again be left behind.
