Operation "Return To Sender" Ships Illegals Home

Despite the media telling me that we can't ship illegals back home, it looks like some how we've managed with a few of them. Reports KTUL.com:

A federal task force swept through Tulsa Wednesday, netting dozens of illegal immigrants. Dubbed 'Operation Return To Sender', it's being run by the Department of Homeland Security.

The cool name aside, what a great program! And it gets better! The story continues:

That's the only soundbite you will hear in this story, as federal officials tried to keep the wraps on the Oklahoma chapter of Operation Return to Sender, a nationwide crackdown by US Immigration and customs enforcement to apprehend illegal aliens with federal warrants. It began May 26th and has netted over 21-hundred aliens.

Today's target was Tulsa. Three passengers were off-loaded from a white van entering the sheriff's barbed wire yard when we were there. Roughly forty are expected to be taken into custody by days end.

Statewide, approximately 120 illegals are earmarked for arrest. Specific crimes are unknown, but of those arrested in other states, 146 were for sex offenses, 367 for gangs, and 640 fugitives previously told to leave the US.

Sources say the operation is set to conclude Friday in Oklahoma, by which time more details regarding the fugitives will be released.

21-hundred illegals apprehended! Good work. Unfortunately, it is sad to think that that many illegals could be arrested and there's still only about 20 million left!

I can't wait to hear the liberal-reaction on this one, except that it will probably come through in the form of some activist-federal-judge stopping the deportations...
