Sounds Fair To Me
Wizbang Blog calls our attention to a tactic used in Panama City, Florida to discover illegal aliens. The local Sheriff is sending multiple police cars to construction sites with lights and sirens turned on, when the illegals take it on the lam the police track them down and report them to Immigration. It is having the desired effect.
"We immigrants, we are leaving Panama City. People are afraid they will be deported," he said. "The companies don't want to hire illegal people. Now they're only hiring those with papers."
Dang, ain't that a shame, no papers, no worky!
Sheriff Frank McKeithen is apparently one of many local and state officials willing to do the work our Federal government won't do. No word in this story on whether the INS immigration services follow up or if any of the illegals are actually punished; but we can guess that result, can't we?
Oh, and the story wouldn't be complete without the ACLU charging in to claim the tactics are like "Nazi Germany".

Just for the record, the INS changed its name to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when they were moved to the Department of Homeland Security.

There is a road in this town which was known for being the main artery into a crime-ridden and otherwise slovenly area. A developer poured money into one section and succeeded in getting the government to rename the road from the notorious Kelly Road into Bayshore Road. Nothing else changed about the area, only the name, and many of us old-timers still call it Kelly Road even though we know there has been an attempt to create a new image under a different name.
In much the same way I am slow to embrace the new and improved names for the many bureaus created to do the work the INS never succeeded in doing, my apologies if my intransigence has created any confusion By whatever name the enforcement division uses, I suspect their resolve to get the job done.
