KATE...I think you are right.

And the "broadening out" that I was referring to in terms of an immigrant "net" apparently no longer makes the more subtle Obama distinctions in terms of "criminal issues" i.e. Deport felons not minor misdemeanors....

But rather looks at all immigrants as criminal, regardless of their history in this country, perhaps their status, their good citizenship behavior, their U.s born children......there is also the issue of asylum for folks coming from certain countries where that is a genuine issue...El Salvador, et al...if you are simply into mindless and very speedy deportation without access to counsel, of everyone you pick up in a "Sweep"....well the niceties of justice are "history".....

AND I'd like to know a lot about these border patrol folks....i.e. Their training, the content of their education relative to these justice concerns, their own behavioral history....
