ABC led with a couple of angles on the immigration beat. Raids to arrest immigrants without residency papers are now ten times more frequent than four years ago. Pierre Thomas asked Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff why: "When the immigration bill went down in flames this summer he was left with one mandate--enforce the law." Mike von Fremd took the local angle in the Texas town of Irving, where it is now police policy is to check the papers of "every individual they pick up for breaking the law." So far, more than 2,000 individuals have been handed over by local cops to Immigration & Customs Enforcement. "The Mexican consulate is telling Mexicans to steer clear of towns such as this one." Responded Mayor Herbert Gears: "We are not engaging in racial profiling of any kind."
