By immigrationprof

The Christian Science Monitor (here) follows up on the New Bedford raid last week.  Accoring to the story, the human consequences of the America’s stepped-up immigration enforcement has brought into sharp focus the ethical conflicts inherent in a debate often presented in simple black and white.

They’re exploiters of America’s largess or victims of a capitalistic system that thrives on cheap labor.
