One can also apologize for being extremely rude to someone who was trying to be nice.

One can make a mistake and then shut up about it after being corrected.

One can also refuse to acknowledge one’s error and continue to insist that one is right even after repeatedly being corrected. This is what Medic is doing. Let’s see how far he pushes it. This is fun.

Be gentle with El Guapo, Medic…I sided with him on another thread and he read it totally wrong, actually accusing me of being a liar. Needless to say, I have some doubts about his reading comprehension. It’s unfair to berate the handicapped.

The post above states that the massage parlor was raided “today” (i.e. April 18). Your criticism was directed at the mainstream media. This is a blog, not the mainstream media. The mainstream media (WTOP) reported it correctly. The blog reported it incorrectly.

Again, get your facts straight before you criticize.

And to /\/\3|)iç 64 (Winner of the BVBL 40k and 50k post award),
The WTOP story was from Wednesday, April 16. Your beloved outraged patriots posted the story on Thursday, April 17. BVBL is brining up the rear by posting in on April 18.

It’s called getting your facts straight before you criticize someone. Google it.

First off the post above states:

By Greg L | 18 April 2008 | Fairfax County, Illegal Aliens | 29 Comments

WJLA is reporting that a massage parlor in Springfield Mall was raided today, and they came up with ten illegal aliens.

This leads someone to believe that the story was written or broadcasted on the 18th, when in fact it was the 16th when this raid took place.

So, before you start in on someone, be sure to have your facts straight.

Remember, folks-an Immigration Judge makes the final decision to deport, detain or release, not ICE. Police Officers and Deputy Sheriffs don’t release prisoners, judges do. Let’s try to remember that these ICE Agents are out there doing a job, a job that we have been asking to be done.

park’d,

If you really think the employees of that particular 5 Guys are illegal, why do you do business there. The employer only understands the Dollar - and if he is losing business due to hiring illegals, he will rectify the situation.

The jail is talking about only having SERIOUS offenders picked up in the future by ICE. It was in the article about how ICE finally got off their butts and picked up some folks. But at the end of the article, the jail said they were thinking of revising who goes to ICE and only confining it to the serious criminals. Apparently, they plan on letting the run-of-the-mill criminal back into our communities.

…and we the taxpayers pay for their anchor babies.

Monti,

that seems to be an issue, I guess if they have an anchor (or one in the oven) they get a pass. I talked to a buddy in california on this matter not too long back (he’s hispanic and very legal) he said when they cross the border they’ll either do it pregnant (and risk their lives and that of the unborn child) or as soon as they get stateside they’ll attempt to get pregnant as fast and as much as possible. it’s like they think if they generate as many children they’ll be that much safer. It’s sick and i think this is pretty abhorrent…

Junes_Reston: All these ICE raids are for show. The employers are never punished. If an illegal woman has an anchor baby they usually let her go. These raids are not serious.

You’re not paranoid–you’re smart.

A little off topic:

Does ICE pick up all the illegal aliens PWC police arrest, or just some? If just some, how many are left behind?

What happens with the illegal aliens after ICE picks them up?

Call me paranoid but I can’t help but wonder if ICE is just putting on a show and once outside the County, just releases them into another community.

Just curious - why do you allow something non-factual (that it is Saslaw’s district, when you later correct it after the jump) to remain on the front page? I would think you would want the correction on the front page.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were some sort of a raid every day? That would lead to massive self-deportation.
