There’s been a bust of immigrant workers at a food processing plant in Portland, Oregon.

Details are sketchy, but I wonder if this will be another New Bedford?

There was also serious fallout from the detention of hundreds of workers: Dozens of young children were left stranded after their parents were rounded up by federal authorities. As a result, many children weren’t picked up from day care or school.

Corinn Williams, director of the Community Economic Development Center of Southeastern Massachusetts, estimated about 100 children were left with babysitters or caretakers.

“We’re continuing to get stories today about infants that were left behind,” she said Wednesday. “It’s been a widespread humanitarian crisis here in New Bedford.”

Let me get this straight- if you’re an American citizen who has kids but can’t get a job then you are a useless waste of space and you and your kids don’t deserve to get enough to eat (see food stamp challenge) but if you’re an illegal immigrant who is working you are a criminal for having a job that puts food in the mouths of your children and it’s better that they should be left stranded at daycare while la migra holds you hostage.

Or shorter US Government “Poor people and their children don’t get us reelected but raids on poor people do”.
