"This is a massive operation," said Marc Raimondi, a spokesman for immigration enforcement or ICE, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security. "We are watching the country's borders from the inside." Yeah, right......massive??? The government has conducted similar large-scale immigration sweeps from time to time. On April 20, agents rounded up 1,100 illegal immigrants in 40 cities. In New England, officials said the Operation Return to Sender sweeps have caught more than 150 people, including 75 who had come back after being deported. It seems to me either the 12 million number is bogus or the INS is giving lip service to this roundup. If the 12 million figure is real, a roundup up of 1100 is nothing.
