It would be nice if you and others kept up with facts, instead of continuing bashing Bush, even though he IS doing a great deal to strengthen our borders.
Bush budget adds hundreds of immigration enforcement jobs
February 3, 2004
http://www.govexec.com/dailyfed/0204/020304p1.htm Hundreds of new immigration enforcement jobs, including 236 personnel to find aliens that have defied final deportation orders, would be created under President Bush's fiscal 2005 budget proposal.
The budget would add staff to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement's detention and removals branch, which expels illegal aliens from the United States. The unit extradited 142,008 aliens in fiscal 2003, but faces a daunting backlog of immigration cases. Roughly 400,000 aliens have fled after receiving a final order of deportation from an immigration judge.
The Bush budget would fund 30 new fugitive operations teams, which are dedicated solely to apprehending and deporting alien absconders. ICE currently has 18 such teams. It also would provide 269 new immigration enforcement agents for the institutional removal program, where criminal aliens in federal and state prisons are released into ICE custody. Because of staffing shortfalls, ICE now taps its criminal investigators to help staff this program.
yea, yea, yea, like I really believe Bush is going to do anything at all to protect our border and stop the flow of his amigos. Nice try, but Bush has made his position on illegals quite plan. Open borders, amnesty, willing worker, does any of this sound familar?
