On April 7, 2008 a recently formed national commission examining raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents held its second regional hearing in the Massachusetts State House.
The hearing in Boston is part of a series of regional public meetings that the commission is holding to explore the execution, implications and ramifications of workplace immigration enforcement on local communities. The commission will also look into claims that ICE has engaged in violations of the 4th amendment. After a thorough investigation, the commission will produce a public report that highlights its findings and makes recommendations about how the system should be reformed.

Sen. K is correct when he questions why the nation's Homeland-Security resources are being wasted on non-criminal immigrants [just being undocumeted is not a crime, it's a violation of civil law].
Likely answer to Sen K's observation: The current Admin is directionless wrt national security: It botched up Iraq, Afgan. is more dangerous than ever, etc. So, to gain the public's trust, it creates pseudo-threats. All at the expense of taxpayers. Attn U.S. citizens: Fool you twice, shame on you!
