Immigration Crackdown: Raids shake up Washington college town

Now here, in central Washington State, (where migrants pick all those apples) is a humane reaction to the crackdown.

Immigration raids shake up Wash. college town: "ELLENSBURG, Wash. -- More than 200 people turned out at a church in a central Washington college town Friday to discuss a series of immigration raids that resulted in more than two dozen arrests and left relatives scrambling to care for the children left behind.

"I have children. How would I feel if it happened to me and they snatched me and sent me somewhere and left my kids behind?" said attendee Raymond Hall, CWU professor of African-American folklore. "Especially if the reason I came here in the first place was to make a better life for them."" Jan. 21, 2011, AP/Washington Post
