The MSM is angry over illegals being deported. Just read how the Border agents “target” illegals just trying to get along and doing their time job.

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Juan Martinez was looking forward to returning to his construction job after a one-month sentence for violating probation on drug charges.

But when he got out of the Orange County jail, he was met by immigration agents bent on deporting the 23-year-old illegal immigrant with $68 in his pocket and few prospects.

“I just probably won’t come back,” he said about being sent to Tijuana, Mexico. “If I do, I’ll keep coming back to prison and I don’t want that.”

But look at the response by the US Immigration and Customs Official.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials say more jail checks are crucial to preventing serious crimes by illegal immigrants. In December, for example, an illegal immigrant with a history of arrests for assaults and drug offenses shot two Long Beach police officers before he was killed in a gunbattle.

“This isn’t really an immigration issue. It’s a public-safety issue,” ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice said. “You can be sure there’ll be a finger-pointing drill at the end of the day if they do something evil.”
