ICE now has a quota for arresting immigrants [View all]

They're filling it by going after the low-hanging fruit, all the undocumented people who've been in the country for years, living, working, contributing and being an American in everything but their nationality. Other administrations, both Democratic and Republican gave these people a "pass", figuring it wasn't worth bothering with them since they were doing no harm of any kind. But now the jackbooted thugs of the "Border Czar" are using these people to meet their quota. In Chicago it was reported than almost 50% of the people detained had no criminal record. So much for "we're going after the murderers and gang members". Liars.
