Almost half of the illegal aliens arriving in the U.S. from terrorist-sponsoring or "special interest" nations in the past few years have been released into the American population following their apprehension. This key finding is published in an internal audit of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) obtained by Cybercast News Service .
The so-called "catch and release" policies have allowed more than 45,000 illegal aliens from countries that are well known for their anti-American views or considered "hotbeds of Islamic fundamentalism" to be freed.
U.S. Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas), in conversations with sheriffs operating along the Texas-Mexico border, learned that illegal aliens of Middle Eastern descent have been able to blend into the culture south of the U.S. border and pass themselves off as Mexicans.

He knows. He doesn't care. This is obvious from the fact that he continues to preach to us about "terrorism" despite leaving the borders wide open, even after 9/11/01, for anyone and everyone to stroll across.
This is no American president. His loyalties lie elsewhere.
It doesn't make me happy to admit that W has turned a blind eye to this growing problem.
We're just expressing our appreciation for diversity, what's the problem?/s
And, just think, they've probably been here since BEFORE 9/11/01.
Why are we allowing any of these people in here? I don't give a damn what their reasons are for being here. I want them out of here and on the first plane home to where they can saw each other's heads off; not here.
We are so beholden to ME oil that we have lost our will to survive. Unless we wake up we will be toast.
I didn't realize that illegal Middle Eastern men were so anxious to get into the USA to pick lettuce.

Unfounding step-fathers just doing the job that our founding fathers wouldn't do.
There you have it. The problem is not the fault of our elected federal representatives. The problem is the propensity and penchant of those mischievous illegal aliens.
I wonder what they'll have to say, too. Sometimes I think MSM doesn't cover some things because they don't want the citizenry to know! <:-O Gee, ya think?
War for oil?! No way. OPEC has 41% of the world's reserves. We have 40% on our own. It ain't no war for oil, that's just political propoganda.
As for picking lettuce, I think we all know that's another bit of MSM tomfoolery...
I'm so afraid you're right. I keep asking myself, though: after all W has waltzed through, why is he so 'arrested development' on this? It's harder and harder to accept that amnesty is looming on the horizon. Love that 'toon!
Nothing to see here, stick your heads back in the sand and we'll blow you up quicker'n you can say Bin Laden.
Seeing as the reward for turning in a terrorist trying to sneak into the US from Mexico would probably be US citizenship and a couple million dollars; there are 100,000,000 people in Mexico would who turn in a terrorist & the Coyotes trying to smuggle them into the US in a heartbeat.
Even a Gringo like me can tell the difference between a Argentinean accent, a Caribbean accent and a Mexican accent.
A Mexican looking to collect reward money (and a green card on top of the reward) could spot an Arab accent kilometers away.
Here's the new policy:
If you're caught sneaking into our country, you get a Tecate and a pork carnitas burrito on your bus ride home. You don't want it? You get a plane ride to Guantanamo instead........
No doubt. He carried himself well after 9/11 but failing to cash in on the op to improve safety will cost the entire party, I fear.
The only "catch and release" program that is known to work is that of the U.S. Navy, first introduced in 2003...
Good one!
As long as he does not shut the borders completely down his WOT rings hollow. I can no longer take him seriously on this issue and neither do the American people. Ever since he started on this amnesty bill, his poll numbers have taken a dive. Iraq is not why his ratings stink--it is the immigration problem.
In my GOP circles, which are quite large, almost everyone is fed up with him. The mantra is: "We did not vote for out of control spending and open borders."
Ditto. He is destroying the once-proud GOP without a care for those he has left behind.
IF? There are 15? million who haven't been caught, or if some of them have, they just turn around and come right back in.
Bush's open borders policies are insane.

My experience is similar and they are saying this about Congress and not just the President.

I have to disagree...Bush is fully aware of the problem...And apparently to him, it's not a problem...And by not closing the borders, Bush is encouraging terrorists to come into our country...
And when one asks why, there are a number of potential scenarios why Bush may want terrorists in our country...
I'm hearing it, too. Strayhorn has a very good chance, I'm learning.
As for the Senate's amnesty bill, that was surrender to the enemy.
Very interesting. I hadn't thought of it that way before. The possibilities are endless.
Bttt!
