What troubles me most about this entire series of raids is that it seems, from the reporting (at least in English-language sources; I don't read Spanish) that legal residents (read: citizens, permanent residents, etc) in our communities who are of Latin American extraction are being made afraid enough to stay home. This sort of an operation should be accompanied by an enormous amount of public outreach to reassure our neighbors who are here legally.
