KEYWORDS:
Their plight has drawn the renewed attention of Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, who asked last year whether LESC mismanagement had hampered the nation's ability to control its borders and if criminal investigators were being misused. The internal INS probe has stalled while Mr. Grassley's staff investigates the accusations.

Go for it, Chuck.

It is classified information that the INS has not been doing its job? Har, har, har. This has been known all over the world. Now that the word is out, maybe they can clean up their act a little.

"The approximately $1 million the taxpayers spend annually on the 12 special agents to contribute to the national security and safeguard the public has been, since 1998, irrefutably stagnating behind a desk at LESC, answering phones, photocopying pictures and listening to talk radio," said Mr. Markiewicz.

Clinton had the FBI and CIA doing the same thing.
Ah yes. The Clinton "Let's destroy America" legacy lives on.
When Clinton asked people to vote for him and good government, he was asking them to vote twice.

"When Clinton asked people to vote for him and good government, he was asking them to vote twice."

And his supporters understood this...

This wouldn't be happening if President Bush had purged all the Doris Meisner appointees in the agency.

I still cannot understand why he didn't. An ill-advised and totally unjustified act of goodwill to a group of people who actually belong in jail.

"Maine" looks like a mistake, the agents are from Vermont.

"I still can't understand why he didn't."

Isn't it obvious Bush doesn't want illegal immigration stopped, either?

"Clintonista cells"?

Did you see Bush's, open-borders, Libertarian, appointee, James Ziglar do anything in his 1 1/2 years at the INS to enforce existing laws against illegal immigration?

Do you believe the goofy, Cuban, banker, Aguirre, that Bush appointed to replace Ziglar, is going to do any better?

How many years does Bush have to be in office before he can be blamed for his failure to straighten out these agencies?

Thought the same thing but JimRob doesn't want headers changed.

Alternative is that Maine might be location of agency's HDQ.
