PHOENIX - A computerized fingerprinting system is credited with apprehending nearly four times more illegal immigrants with criminal or immigration records trying to enter through Arizona.
Since October, the Border Patrol says agents patrolling the Tucson sector have apprehended nearly eleven-thousand people who were wanted by local authorities or had been convicted of crimes or immigration violations.
The majority of people were detected by a digital scanning fingerprint system that lets agents check both criminal and immigration records simply by scanning the fingers on both hands.
The system wasn't available to the entire Tucson sector until this year.
It was installed at the Border Patrol's busiest stations first.
"the Border Patrol says agents patrolling the Tucson sector have apprehended nearly eleven-thousand people who were wanted by local authorities or had been convicted of crimes or immigration violations."
Aren't all illegal aliens by definition criminals (I know, "not convicted")
Knowing our attitude toward illegals, the next step is to use taxpayer money to build mosques every half mile so the terrorists can ask Allah to help them blow us away.
That's what worries me. America is hurting. America is not the same anymore. Look how they are taking away "under God" from us. Look at how the atheists are coming out of the woodwork.
Next, it will be illegal to fly our own FLAG.
They moved in to the U.S. so softly, none of us knew it until this year. Many believe that these Mosque's are hiding terrorist that will do us harm. I have no doubt. :(
The biggest Mosque, probably the headquarters, is in Chigaco.
VERY terrifying!
Excuse me?
The US should compensate those Mexicans who suffered monetary losses as a result of this ethnic profiling which, by the way, violates all sorts of UN laws. Many of these entrepreneurs had instructions to acquire specific motor vehicles and return them to Mexico for commercial sale. These are lost opportunities. The spotters in LA have to be paid but the car (SUV) didn't get picked up on time.
One hombre had six genuine, legitimate, official matricula cards and the gringos rejected every one!!! What kind of documents do these folks want??
ok, now let's give that technology to the local police and also require a scan before handing out food stamps, other $ aid and admittance to hospital emergency rooms.
oh yeah, and you have to be scanned to get through the door at the local DMV.
I posted a story about that mosque recently. They nailed one of the Imans for intent to make meth, he had 7 million pseudophedrine tablets he was smuggling in.
You posted the following: "The wife said every morning, she will find prayer rugs and books of the Karan that was dropped in haste in their yard!"
Do you reallyn believe that shev is telling the truth? If not why did you post it?
Although I will agree that apprehending 11k is better than none, what the Government is doing is about the same as putting a band-aid on a shotgun wound.... MUCH more needs to be done.
Do you reallyn believe that shev is telling the truth? If not why did you post it?
Shev? Well, I believe SHE was telling the truth. She and her border patrol hubby live this night after night.
And the documentary was done by one of our top newscasters.
Also, the newscaster had a night time camera and SHOWED the immigrants jumping the fence at the border! Hundreds of them.
Go ahead. Bury your head in the sand and maybe it will all go away...........
In less than 3 months President Bush will be reelected and all the Buchanan/Tancredo Neanderthals can crawl back under their rocks for another four years.
what's the caught to 'got away' ratio?
This was dropped in Congressman Kolbe's brother's back yard. It is in the hands of the FBI. How much of a stretch is it to believe that prayer rugs have also been found? Get a clue, sir. You're either ignorant - that is, uninformed - or you're spouting hyperbole to discredit those you don't agree with.
You're the horse, by the way.
"shut up" is it now? Looks like the Cheap Labor special interest wing of the GOP is starting to meltdown like Chris Matthews and Paul Begala are because of the Swift Vets. Some people just can't let the facts get in the way of good partisan Kool Aid drinking. Like you, Cheap Labor#1.
What the article doesn't say is what's done with them. Imprisonment or do they get tossed back over the border like the non-criminals?
A simple response from an obvious simple mind.
No matter.
You nailed it jinx; he's both.
From what I understand, they're jailed.
