Today, SEIU issued the following statement in response to the 'quiet immigration raid' that took place last month at a contract company in the downtown area of the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
"Enforcement without comprehensive reform is like redecorating when the house is on fire. Instead of solving problems, it only succeeds in pushing undocumented workers away from responsible employers and deeper into the shadows--benefitting the most unscrupulous off-the-books employers and degrading the quality of life for the rest of us. In the end, we are no where closer to solving the broken immigration system: communities lose; responsible businesses lose; families lose."The "quiet raid" that left 1200 undocumented janitors jobless and unable to provide for their families is being called "one of the largest immigration crackdowns under the Obama administration" by Minnesota Public Radio .
