We are taking action:
Border Patrol to Get Increased Deportation Authority
http://www.gopusa.com/news/2004/august/0812_border_security.shtml
WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- Earlier this week, Department of Homeland Security Under Secretary for Border & Transportation Security Asa Hutchinson announced plans to increase the authority of border patrol agents to quickly deport persons crossing U.S. borders illegally. The plan is also aimed at "facilitating travel for legitimate Mexican visitors."
The new plan involves expanding the use of "expedited removal from the ports-of-entry to locations along the U.S. border," and "increasing the amount of time a border crossing card will allow a card-holder to remain in the U.S."
"We want to send a clear message that those individuals who follow legal immigration procedures will benefit while those who choose to break our nations immigration laws will be promptly removed from the U.S.," said Under Secretary Hutchinson.
"Expedited removal" has been used at official ports of entry in the U.S., such as airports and seaports, since 1997. However, it has not been applied on the land borders between the ports of entry.
According to the DHS, the expansion of expedited removal processing will allow the department to "speed the removal of illegal aliens who are caught while attempting to enter the United States by fraudulent means or while attempting to elude Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Border Patrol agents." DHS says the new procedure will only apply to those caught within 100 miles of the Mexican or Canadian borders, and only if they are apprehended within their first 14 days in the U.S.
"has convinced Bush administration officials that lax immigration rules"
It is about time. We need troops on that border. Guess we will have to wait until one of our cities is nuked to over come the PC presumption against getting tough on these slimes.

PING!
I have long advocated installing publicly declared, clearly demarcated minefields along the US-Mexican border. If illegals want to brave the hazards of a minefield, so be it.
I think we knew this a few years ago! About time this administration started doing something. So far it seems like a band-aid on a major artery!
Hope this is true, but I've written to Mr. Bush several times about it and never heard a word back. He should have known about this (Governor of Texas) and done something about it 9/12/2001.
Three years too late for me to feel secure.
The Administration is swooping into action. Why do I still feel like our lives are gambling chips on a political craps table?
Many were released pending immigration hearings.
Like, they're really going to show up for their hearings.
Unbelievable.
Not sure if I really believe this...
Which is it President Bush supports--de facto amnesty for illegal aliens or what's claimed in this article? He can't credibly advocate both at the same time.
"Many were released pending immigration hearings"
Yeah sure, that solves the problem, doesn't it? Surely, they'll show-up at their deportation hearings. NOT!
America, wake-up and throw the bastards in Washington, out! We're going to have to do it all, ourselves. We can't trust the RINOS, or anyone else, anymore, dammit.
BUMP!
Can we have a show of hands if any think these guys will bother showing back up for their hearing? I'm waiting... No one? Come on, folks. Don't be shy. Anyone? Ok, we have a concensus of ZERO.
