Toon: "Why are you so grossly misinformed?"

No, actually I think Beck and Limbaugh have a bit more to do with that little problem....

1. Hehehe...Aint' that they truth!

Tho actually, deportations are down by like 10%. A step in the rigt direction! Everybody who wants to should be able to come here!

4. There was a big bump in deportations which has now leveled off,

but that is, I believe, more to do with the economy than anything else. Everybody who want to should be able to come here, but who the hell wants to anymore?

5. Deportations isn't because of the economy.

That makes it sound like it's voluntary, people choosing to leave because of a lack of jobs. That would not be deportation, but emigration.

They aren't emigrating back to their original countries. They are being Deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) because of ongoing political pressures to purge every possible undocumented immigrant.

The legal persecution of anyone brown in Arizona who might even possibly be an undocumented immigrant shows how much pressure there is. The broad support growing in California to deport large groups of people is getting worse. And the stories that have been published of citizens and legal immigrants who have found themselves shipped to Mexico against their will who have had to fight for their right to come back into the US shows how serious this problem is becoming.
