Miami will be one of the first cities where U.S. immigration authorities will target people for deportation as early as this Sunday, according to sources who were briefed on the enforcement action.

Immigration agents will target Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco this weekend, sources from congressional offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Miami Herald.

They will deport the “breadwinner” of a family and leave the kids behind broke and jobless. Then it will be the taxpayers job to support them in the foster care system somehow.

Until we change the immigration laws there isn't much that can be done about enforcing them.

After Katrina droves of construction crews came from Mexico to work. They were warehoused for months and literally rebuilt and tore down and cleaned up the city. I imagine some stayed. I wish I could apologize to every last one of them.
