731 illegals nabbed in largest sweep ever

Federal officials said they made a weeklong series of raids in a five-county region in southern California that targeted illegal immigrants who had previously been deported for crimes or had ignored final deportation orders.

The sweep netted illegal immigrants from 14 countries in all, including Mexico, Honduras, Ukraine, India, Japan, Poland and Trinidad.

The raids netted 338 illegal immigrants who were arrested at their homes and apartments and 423 who were identified in area jails since Jan. 17.

It was another move in the right direction. However, it is possible that twice that number of illegals came across our southern border while the weeklong raid was in progress.
