"We believe there are other effective tools that can be used," he said.

Yes, but lions and tigers are harder to train.

Gee....those poor immigrants have it so ruff....

We need to secure the borders and kick the ILLEGALS out. We need to stop calling them UNDOCUMENTED workers. They have broken the law and should be dealt with accordingly.

[EggsAckley]

Viking Kitties, perhaps?

Guard dogs are a great tool. Cuts down on manpower plus islamics don't care for dogs so these fanatics would be thinking twice about angering the dog.

The jail temporarily stopped using dogs around detainees last month, but recently resumed the practice. National Public Radio last month aired a report and made public documents describing a dog attack at the jail.

"Without the dogs there has been an increase in fights at the jail," Maer said.

This is all and only about being PC. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement is not serious about its mission.

[EggsAckley]

Yup.

A snarling German Shepard needs no translator.

This is a Tom Ridge operation. I wonder what Herik's (sp?) position would be?

[EggsAckley]

It should be interesting to watch, 'eh?

[Fatalis]

Is Asa Hutchison still the Deputy Secretary over ICE?

[EggsAckley]

That I don't know.

[Navy Patriot]

The article doesn't make it clear, but it appears that prisoners other than Illegal Alien detainees will still be controlled by dogs. Sweet, criminal foreigners will get better treatment than not yet convicted US citizens.

[caisson71]

How about those abusive locks on jail doors?

[usurper]

Is Asa Hutchison still the Deputy Secretary over ICE?

He is the Under Secretary for Border and Transportation Security which contains ICE, CBP and I believe TSA.

On a side note, most people do not know that illegal immigrants receive better detention standards than US citizens. There is a big story there if someone from the MSM would care to write it.

[EggsAckley]

Yeah, oh, the humanity! Locks on the doors!!

[dalereed]

Homeland Security needs to be done away with, what a useless agency spending billions hiring welfare cases to make the unemployment numbers look better.

Don't feed the dogs and make them lunch on illegals!

[Fatalis]

Herik = Kerik.

"We believe there are other effective tools that can be used," he said.

Name one that is as effective, cost efficient, sentiently loyal, and just plain fun for the good guys to have around. We don't need a "kinder and gentler" border control any more than we needed a "kinder and gentler" CIA.
