Another few weeks, another drop house busted. However, the important things in the AP report are the following:

Police investigating a report of a kidnapping found 28 suspected illegal Mexican immigrants who had been held by smugglers at a small hotel...

A crowd of mostly Hispanics gathered at two corners near the motel, holding large Mexican flags and chanting, "Let them go!"

At one point the crowd of about 30 people blocked the street as three large vans pulled up to take away the immigrants. One person threw a rock at police and struck a squad car. About a dozen officers lined up shoulder to shoulder and cleared the street as the vans departed...

An official from the Mexican Consulate office spoke to some of the immigrants to advise them of their rights to an attorney before they were taken away.

Louis Carrillo, a consulting attorney with the Mexican consulate, said it was the third time in recent months that he had seen Los Angeles police working in tandem with federal immigration authorities.

"That should not be permitted in Los Angeles," he said. "The police department assistance is counterproductive because it can lead illegal immigrants to fear reporting crimes."

This situation is only going to get worse. With enough "immigration" (in English: massive illegal immigration) it will soon be very difficult for even federal agents to bust a drop house. At that point, the "immigration" problem will spiral out of control. If we don't get a handle on it now while we still can, it might be too late.

The way to do that is to make it absolutely clear to your elected representatives that they either vote to stop massive illegal immigration or they won't get your vote. That goes for Bush and any other Republican too.
