How do all the OTMs get into Mexico to begin with?
Can you say, "sleepers?" I wonder what their signal will be?
Thank you El Presidente Jorge!
My tagline says it all (with ongoing thanks to SteveMcKing for letting me snag it).
At least the USD should be our new North American Union currency, and not the Looney or Peso!
Surreal, so-called "Compassionate Conservativism".
And yet anyone in a position to know concedes that at least 2 out of 3 illegal crossers get through. That's not what I'd call effective.
"In the past six months, 57,312 non-Mexican migrants - commonly referred to as OTMs, for "other than Mexican" - were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in the United States, according to data from U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Of those, 52,644 were caught along the southern border, said Salvador Zamora, spokesman for the department.
Compared to the six-month period from October 2004 to March 2005 - when 54,207 non-Mexican migrants were arrested, 49,828 of them along the southern border - apprehensions of non-Mexican migrants is up 5.7 percent, Zamora added."
What Global freaking War? ???
Don't forget Gracis Senor Presidente Fox, Nuestro Amigo.
Here's one way:

"Homeland Security Security Secretary Michael Chertoff's promise of ending the "catch and release" practice still hasn't come to fruition. The department contends that there is limited bed space and facilities to hold the non-Mexican migrants who are not able to return to their country of origin."
Chertoff = Arbusto's sock puppet.
I expect that thieving, corrupt, dirtbag (Fox) to behave like that. Had I known about President "Better than Kerry!", I would have gone a different route.
Catch and release?
We have the same rules in PA on some fly-fishing streams.
"We are working to see if we can address this (issue of OTMs) through the courts," Chertoff said in March. "We're also working for prospective legislation that would address this issue and allow us to begin the process of expedited removal for all categories of non-Mexicans."
Considering what past POTUS' have gotten away with during war, this is an absolute non-starter, copout line of bovine scatology.
Some fly in...we've found their airline tickets in dump sites along the trails, mostly from Brazil.
Others sneak across the southern Mexican border, just as they do across the northern Mexican border.
"James said Border Patrol officials keep a tight lid on captures of immigrants from countries with ties to terrorist nations, and that the Department of Homeland Security spins the public's perception of border safety.
"I think the Border Patrol has a vested interest in making anything that reflects on the dangers of the border go away," said James, who left the Border Patrol to pursue a career in law. "What's really disturbing is that you don't know who's getting around you. It's not impossible to think that terrorists have used or will use our borders to get across.""
Wow, ya *think*?!
Scary stuff. More Mexicans converting to Islam? Why?
"Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center For Immigration Studies, a Washington, D.C.-based immigration think tank, said ignoring border security to focus on a guest-worker program may have damaging future consequences."
Unfortunately, the Chief Executive and his RINO cohorts in the Senate disagree. To all our peril.
I know. I have a friend who did it, just to prove it could be done. He took a backpack from across the border in Mexico into the Federal Courthouse in Tucson without having it checked.
This guy is a retired soldier, but speaks fluent Korean and Spanish; and looks like he could be Mexican or Arab with his dark skin and beard.
Oh, my. Some dare call what's going on treason.
And why shouldn't they?
Only if the tag is worth money, like when you catch a tagged fish.
