US immigration system at its worst

NEW BEDFORD
"HAS ANYONE seen my wife? She left for work yesterday and never came home. Our newborn baby is hungry and crying. Can someone please help?" asks a young father in the basement of a crowded church, one clear voice above the din of the hundreds gathered. The fear is palpable in the young man's eyes. He implores the listener to offer solace, hope, and encouragement.

There were hundreds of people searching for news about their loved ones, fighting back nervous tears. They found no information and no answers. Only chaos. And pain. And fear.

For the past three days, this has been the scene at St. James Church in New Bedford.

2. Even if one supports strict immigration laws

what happens here is that the feds march in and do their thing and leave a huge and costly mess for the state to take care of. They couldn't get the hundreds they swept up far enough away from their families and friends fast enough. This is just wrong.
