Obama Panders to La Raza

Yesterday, Barack Obama spoke at La Raza's national convention in San Diego. Predictably, Obama devoted most of his speech to highlighting his support of "comprehensive immigration reform" a.k.a. allowing illegal aliens to become legal residents. But he went further by talking about how horrible US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is. Transcript via RealClearPolitics.

The system isn't working when 12 million people live in hiding, and hundreds of thousands cross our borders illegally each year; when companies hire undocumented immigrants instead of legal citizens to avoid paying overtime or to avoid a union; when communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids [NMS-emphasis mine] - when nursing mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access to legal counsel.

You have to give Obama credit, when he panders he goes all out. Last time I checked, ICE immigration raids are part of federal immigration law enforcement. But I've been enlightened, federal immigration enforcement is run by evil, malicious, ne'er-do-wells looking for some random illegal alien to harass and terrorize, and maybe take a baby from a mother while they're at it. Give me a break.
