Chicago lawmakers added their [unanimous] voices Wednesday to the call for a moratorium on raids and deportations, an action they hope will lead to comprehensive immigration reform.As detailed at the last link, the ICIRR is headed by someone with a series of links to the Mexican government.
..."Immigrants are being uprooted, they are being persecuted. They are losing their jobs, they are losing hope," said Ald. George Cardenas (12th).
...The "Ya Basta" Campaign, an initiative launched in August by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, called the resolution's passage a successful first step in stopping the raids...
"This is torture. Families will breathe a sigh of relief when Congress and the president call for a moratorium, which is the first step to legalization... We're sending the message from Chicago, saying we're not going to tolerate this."

Cardenas, Flores -- hmm, what kind of names are those?
"This is torture" she says...LOL! Well known for their hyperbole, at least they are not playing the "This is genocide" card! And Ms. Lozano, you will tolerate this. The raids and deportations will continue, at least until the Shrub leaves office.
maybe the government boys can go some deportations on the city council in chicago?
