Last week, the Bush administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency arrested a few hundred illegal immigrants, a move widely dismissed (here and elsewhere) as a for-show bust. But this minor blip in enforcement apparently frightened thousands of illegals into staying home from work, at which point the ICE felt moved to announce that nobody should worry because they didn’t really intend to enforce the law after all.
Jeez. But read the whole thing for some interesting points going beyond this comic incident.
