If we’re talking about the “problem,” let’s talk about the predatory economic policies implemented by the U.S. in the countries from which these immigrants come from. History reveals many countries that took measures to improve their economic situation, only to be met with violent, US-backed coups when those policies were found to not be in the best interests of US corporations. In the ensuing civil wars and economic strife that plagued most of Latin America throughout the 70’s and 80’s, many families fled to the country that was largely responsible for the misappropriation of resources in their country (namely, the US).
In response to our devastating foreign policy in the 70’s and 80’s, we enacted NAFTA and CAFTA, which have only exacerbated their economic plight of Latin American nations by flooding the economies with low-paying jobs and cheap US products which produced an outflow of capital from the local economy.
Rather than employing ICE agents (gotta love the terror-inducing acronyms of our government) to purge our country of hard-working men and women, we should be trying to help the sending countries retain their labor force by helping with land-reform measures that give the land back to the people who live there, and by policing our ever-greedy corporations who gladly flood foreign markets with cheap products in order to stamp out any local competition.
Stories like this one in Iowa are shameful, and not generally representative of most Americans. I say we begin to pay credence to the real “silent majority:” those people who think its wrong to traumatize children, terrorize families, and vilify decent human beings.

NAFTA and CAFTA are purely economic con games devised to peddle the idea that globalization (economic imperialism) is good for us all. With the exception of Ross Perot and Pat Buchanan US politicians billed it as a win-win situation which would bring foreign masses up from poverty and “We will only lose the low-end, low-paing jobs here.” Gore said it was inevitable, Clinton pushed it through congress after G.H.W. Bush set up the ball for a spike.
The result was obvious to anyone with an once of imagination…
