US arrests 192 on immigrant-smuggling charges in Texas, seizes $625,000 in 'Operation Coyote'

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Homeland Security Department said Tuesday it arrested 192 people along the Mexican border in South Texas on immigrant-smuggling charges and seized more than $625,000, part of the Obama administration's efforts to discourage and disrupt the flood of tens of thousands of people crossing the border illegally.

The arrests, which took place under a crackdown called "Operation Coyote," took place over the last month and were part of a 90-day effort targeting smuggling groups.

The White House has complained that smugglers are exploiting U.S. policies that, in practice, allow Central American kids to stay for years or indefinitely once they arrive, and it has proposed increasing penalties for smugglers.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said it also took into custody 501 immigrants in the country illegally. It said it seized the money from 228 bank accounts held by suspected human- and drug-smuggling groups.

1. Cool it folks, in the real world Obama has got America's back, the make believe world of the media

is just the carnival barking sideshow.

I notice the top story at Fox is whining like babies about Obama not being in DC during this time of multiple crisis, while none of their top stories on the web is about any one of those crisis. Not a one, because one Obama attack is worth more than 3 crisis any time at Fox.

A black man in charge making the decisions is bad enough, a cool, collected and calm black man able to adroitly juggle several complex tasks at a time has them perpetually and now in particular outraged, they just can believe their own lying eyes, and so they lie with their mouths. Having to explain to themselves and to their base base that this black man is intelligent, complex, capable and a family man above any one of them could ever dream would collapse the whole lying house of cards in one stunning revelation.

Not to mention, when has Fox ever not claimed outrage over Obama leaving Washington for anything, and they once were outraged he was there too much. Racism is an ugly and hypocritical thing by nature.
