Las Vegas Review-Journal
The issue of illegal immigration continues to dominate the political debate.
Last week, the federal government conducted a series of raids at various workplaces that resulted in more than 1,100 arrests of illegal aliens.
As the raids were taking place, many Hispanic activists were preparing for a May 1 national protest designed to showcase the importance of illegals to the American economy.
(Why activists chose a day that is typically aligned with the communist movement can only be considered -- along with the appearance of Mexican flags at previous pro-illegal demonstrations -- another unfortunate political miscalculation.)
