• PHOENIX (Reuters) - U.S. immigration police have
  rounded up hundreds of criminal aliens in
  southern California, as part of one of their
  largest ever roundups of foreign lawbreakers and
  immigration violators, police said on Tuesday.
• Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokeswoman
  Virginia Kice said the week-long sweep identified
  423 criminal aliens due for release from jails
  across five counties in the Los Angeles area, and
  took them into custody.
• The operation also led to the arrest of 338
  undocumented immigrants in the area, more than
  150 of whom were classed as "immigration
  fugitives" -- foreign nationals who ignored final
  deportation orders.
• "It is one of the largest crackdowns on criminal
  aliens ever carried out in the United States,"
  Kice told Reuters in a telephone interview.
• Those arrested in the swoop have all either been
  removed from the United States already or face
  deportation.

A young man protests the loss of local jobs to
illegal immigration. Again, young children appeal
to our emotions and make us see how this boy is
effected by immigration policy.

This arrest picture makes us feel at once good
about border patrol safety and nervous about
illegal immigrants. By not showing this mans
face, he could be anyone. We dont see him as a
real person, but as just a person breaking the
law.

This photo shows how immigration is about
families trying to make a better life for
themselves and their children. We are more
likely to be sympathetic when children are in
the picture.
