1. That just sounds like intimidation tactics

They should pay a fine for every phony arrest

3. All these corporations keeping their head down it seems.

No complaining about destroying their work force and productivity. Did they know?

If they did why aren't they being intimidated and harassed about hiring undocumented.

4. I don't care if they made cellphones available,

or asked them if they had children. Now they have to find their children. Chaos!
