Tighten the Border

[janetgreen]

The Border Patrol is doing a great job against overwhelming numbers. My question is, where are all those "apprehended" illegal aliens now? Were they deported?

Thank you president Bush. Keep up the speeches encouraging illegal immigration

President Fox thanks you, the ruling oligarchy of Mexico thanks you and the poor of Mexico thank you.

I don't.

>>"We increased our force by 10 percent with the 200 agents that we got," Griffin said. "And these are seasoned officers. They come from many sectors." <<

Didn't the Ridge or the President say he would increase the Border Patrol by 10,000?

Marine inspector; Does the loss of these are seasoned officers reduce the effectiveness of other areas?

Good for the AZ Border Patrol!

They deserve a raise. Arizona is the model for what ALL states should be doing.

That answers the ques, why isn't anyone doing anything about illegals? Now if we just had that good of Border Patrol in Texas enforced by a good Gov.

Ninety-nine percent of illegal immigrants apprehended in the Tucson Sector are Mexican nationals, sector spokesman Charles Griffin said.

How 'bout closing the REVOLVING DOOR on the borders ??

Geeez.....'lawmakers love passing new laws for citizens every year. How 'bout a few new laws against these border jumpers ??

Seems like no GW 'proposals' will ever work until illegals are made to respect our borders.

Something like the first time your caught sneaking in a 5 yr. wait 'until you can apply for any legal papers......Second time caught, you can never apply to come here legally.

illegal immigrant apprehensions

at first glance I thought the headline was calling the apprehensions illegal.

Well, something is working. Hey SandRat, did you also post the article about apprehending wanted felons?

Turns out the IAFIS system wasn't supposed to be implemented until today, but was put in early and has already resulted in nearly 24,000 known felons being ID'd and processed in the last three months...

Imagine that, enforce the law against third world anarchy and property values go up, someone tell the politicians this.

"For fiscal year 2004, there were 1,139,282 total apprehensions by Border Patrol on the southwest border and 1,160,395 nationwide"

---

So that means only 21,113 arrest outside of the southwest border in 2004!

If the invaders get past the border area they are virtually home free, and need not worry about being apprehended or deported at all.
That needs to change ASAP, they should never be able to become comfortable while flaunting our laws.
