Since you're only getting blowback, I think taking tough action on immigration was a long time coming. I don't agree with the violent tactics, but exactly those people who couldn't settle on some sensible solution are the ones that fostered the current situation where the (anti-)immigration pendulum swings back hard.

That's where I'm stuck on this. When you have certain cities (or even entire states) saying "we will resist _any_ deportation effort", what choice does a deportation officer have than what they're doing right now?

  To me it seems like a universal, almost spiritual law of human nature and balance. If you have people being extreme about X, you will generate people being extreme about not X. So interesting to see how this plays out and always swings back and forth.
