For the record, every single person I’ve offered this bet to has backed down. Every. Single. One.

Gabe and Alan,
Could you please move this discussion to its proper blog post (two entries down — Arizona, etc.)?
For free speech reasons, I don’t censor but for organizational reasons, I encourage people to comment on the proper issue at the proper place so that folks can find arguments relating to a topic.
As an added bonus, Alan, if you post in the proper place, I promise to answer you (there). 🙂

Gabe you didn’t look that well this is from the Washington Post last year and things have not changed much.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano has delayed a series of proposed immigration raids and other enforcement actions at U.S. workplaces in recent weeks, asking agents in her department to apply more scrutiny to the selection and investigation of targets as well as the timing of raids, federal officials said.
A senior department official said the delays signal a pending change in whom agents at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement choose to prosecute — increasing the focus on businesses and executives instead of ordinary workers.
Napolitano’s moves have led some to question President Obama’s commitment to work-site raids, which were a signature of Bush administration efforts to combat illegal immigration. Napolitano has highlighted other priorities, such as combating Mexican drug cartels and catching dangerous criminals who are illegal immigrants.
And Mark you seem quick to want to prosucute CEOs and those who create jobs, but you like Ms Pelosi and others find it hard to prosecuet those who break the law by coming into this country illegaly. Those poor people only come here to work boo hoo let them do the same as we have force their Govt. to make they country better. They take the short route and by- pass all the laws.
