I hope not, the instructors there were idiots.
I've never been impressed with the INS either. I joined because I despise illegal immigration and I was determined to do something about it after I left the Marine Corps. DHS has improved things a bit, but unfortunately it took 3,000 dead Americans to wake up Washington and the waking up has been far to slow, IMO.
I was originally hired by the BP, but a Inspector position came open and thinking that would be the better route to becoming a CI, I took the II job. Big mistake. As it turned out, after working with some of the INS CI's, I'm glade I never went in that direction. By then I was too old to get back into the BP.
God forbid anyone working for the Government would dare speak out against it. I guess I should be a good civil servant and keep quite, tow the line and praise Bush every chance I get.
You should be thankful that you have a job. I am retired military also an I expect more from a Marine. Yes there were idiots at the place mentioned and some professionals also. You and I both know what we represent and should always present a good image and bearing. I was a professional and took pride in training the students. I will not make any more comments about you, the funning is over. I do ask that you take it easy on my brother and sister freepers. We all have something good to contribute and how we do it is what enlightens us all. NSNR
Now you sound bitter.
Tell me, what would you do if you received a BOL on a white, late model Chevy Lumina diven by a 30 year old white male, blonde, blue, 5'11", 170 pounds, American citizen, suspected of murdering his family possibly fleeing to Canada?
Would you be on the lookout for this suspect or would you refuse to profile 30 year-old, white males with blonde hair, blue eyes and driving white Chevy Luminas as long as they're American citizens?
