WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration has stopped using fake health and safety meetings at job workshops to snag illegal immigrants.
Marcy Forman, director of the Homeland Security Department's Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) divison, said in a letter to the United Food and Commercial Workers union, that it had stopped using sting operations for rounding up undocumented immigrants.
ICE arrested 49 illegal immigrant workers at North Carolina's Seymour Johnson Air Force Base last summer by luring them with a flier to what was advertised as a mandatory Occupational Safety and Health Administration meeting.
Those arrested were contract workers and largely laborers, such as carpenters, with no access to military files.
"The use of the OSHA ruse by ICE agents in North Carolina at the Air Force Base was not coordinated with OSHA," Dean Boyd, an ICE spokesman said Wednesday. "It was a mistake and should not have happened. ICE has since taken corrective action to ensure it doesn't happen again."
The sting drew immediate criticism from unions, immigration advocates and the North Carolina's Occupational Safety and Health Division.

America was nice while it lasted. I never thought I would see the day when America would be literally given away. By Republican house, congress and president, no less.
Once Bush gets all these people legalized, this will no longer be a problem.
Business as usual.

LOL!!!! They shouldn't have busted the illegals at Seymour Johnson. Why? Because it apparently isn't a concern to the Bush administration anymore and they were 'just doing jobs Amuricans won't do'. Remember though. Vote Republican in '06 and '08. Why? Because they care..they really do
NC bump. Well as long as we're still the state of North Carolina. Does anyone know how to say North Carolina in Spanish?
What about the ones who don't want to be legalized?
Bush = Treason Incorporated.

The morons of Washington, including Bush, will do just that. What I am really worried about is the border...no matter what laughable (tragic) plan these pure vote-grabbing politicians come up with, they MUST stop the bleeding at the border...otherwise we will be granting amnesty to 30 million by 2010 or so...I would almost bet my life that the present illegals will stay. The next battle line is the border -- it must be closed to ANY MORE illegals. Otherwise we have solved NOTHING for America.
So true.
So what happens now?
If I chose to boycott all those businesses, I could not make it in this country. Frightening. We've funded our own demise. How deliciously ironic.
BTW, if you Google that phrase, the first result you get is Orange County Community College.
LOL!
What a stupid moment to announce this!!
....so much for his blow hard comments on "We're a nation of laws".
Well, then, we'll just have to respect their wishes.
These are the chosen people. It's not for us pissants to impose our will on them.
"Does anyone know how to say North Carolina in Spanish?"
Carolina del Norte
So it seems that there is more concern for the BUREAUCRATIC border between OSHA and ICE than there is for the national border around our country!
Another silly overuse of the word "treason."

"So what happens now?"
Question of the day, my friend. Personally, I believe people can write letters and call congress-critters until they are blue in the face and it won't make a bit of difference. Republicans are scrambling like mad to fill the void that Democrats left when they moved left. True Conservatism in politics is dead.
