Utah list of 1300 illegals, where is it?

Source: USA Today

A list of 1300 alleged illegal aliens has been mailed anonymously to federal and state agencies, legislators, and news media. There is now an all out manhunt. For those who mailed out the list, of course. Nowhere have I read that there will be any investigation as to whether the people named on the list are illegal or not. The list itself has remained unpublished, so it can't be verified by anyone whether any, or all of them are illegal. This has not concerned the news media, which has been monolithic in it's reporting on this, bloviating about how the list is "frightening Hispanics", as well as reporting complaints about it from "Hispanic advocacy" (read "illegal alien") groups complaining about how awful it is. In all the inane babble coming from the media there has so far been no speculation as to whether these people on the list are illegal or not. From the wall of silence on this matter coming from the press I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess most, if not all, are indeed illegals. The one thing the media HAS speculated about is that the list came from government workers. Here is a question I'd like to ask. Just how is it that a government agency has a list of illegals, and they are NOT being rounded up and deported? Here is another question for you. Now that the list has been released, why is there no talk ANYWHERE of deporting these people if they are, as I strongly suspect, illegals? I would like to ask just why is there such outrage against people releasing a list of what are, essentially, criminals? This is no different than releasing a list of deadbeat parents or any other criminal group. I'd like to make a prediction as to what will happen. The people who released this list will be tracked down, and prosecuted relentlessly, as well as be lambasted by the media. They will probably do some hard time in prison. Meanwhile, NONE of the illegals named on the list will be investigated or deported. I have some advice for anyone in the future thinking about sending out such a list. Don't just send it to politicians and the media. Send it to bloggers as well. If you send it to enough of them one of them will publish it online and it will spread like wildfire.
