Gotta love Florida

A news report just touted that FDLE along with ICE has launched Operation Dirt Bag to arrest the worst of the worst. Trust them, they are sure they've got the right men. Love the cute name, don't you?

ICE was there yesterday rounding up people and then the kids at the school got messages about their parents being detained and chaos happened. Kids terrorized, people literally taken off the farms n this is supposed to be the best way to round up the worst of the worst. This is so wrong..those folks out there don’t have anything to call their own n now their families are being torn apart. This is happening everywhere in this country and it’s got to stop.

These farm workers pick tomatoes for McDonalds etc. Will they still have tomatoes on Big Macs? These poor guys were only going to work for us!
