Immigrants Rounded Up as New Legislation Passes the Senate and Likely Pumped Up

There is a news report which indicates that the DHS was rounding up illegal aliens as the Senate was passing the legislation to give a relief to the undocumented aliens. In fact, this has been going on for quite a while to tone down the opposition of CIR by the conservatives and to sway the public opinion in favor of CIR. As the Congress moves into the second phase of political drama named "Conference Process," it is likely that Bush administration will pump up and publicize the immigration enforcement and border security actions to tone down the oppositions to CIR and to twist the arms of the middle-of-the-ground Republican mild anti-immigrationists in the House to accept the Senate passed CIR bill. The immigrant community should be alerted of the "necessary evil."
