SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - U.S. Hispanic groups and activists on Thursday called for a moratorium on workplace raids to round up illegal immigrants, saying they were reminiscent of Nazi crackdowns on Jews in the 1930s.Hey Carla, you just dealt your issue a fatal blow with the Hitler comparison, and at the same time reminded all of us what the Democratic Party really stands for. The illegal aliens being nabbed are not being "rounded up for no reason", they're being arrested for being in the country illegally and in some cases using stolen Social Security numbers and other identification. Here in the States we call that "breaking the law".
They accused the Department of Immigration and Customs Enforcement of "racial profiling," or selective enforcement against Hispanics, for arresting 1,300 workers on immigration violations in December 12 raids at meatpacking plants in six states.
"We are demanding an end to these immigration raids, where they are targeting brown faces. That is major, major racial profiling, and that cannot be tolerated," said Rosa Rosales, president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, at a news conference.
"This unfortunately reminds me of when Hitler began rounding up the Jews for no reason and locking them up," Democratic Party activist Carla Vela said. "Now they're coming for the Latinos, who will they come for next?"
By the way, Carla, I hope the answer to your question is "Democrats".
