"In approximately six months, 15,000 illegal immigrants have been released in Texas with only a promise to return for their court hearing."

Yet nearly 70%, over 10K, will never keep this *promise* to appear.

So WHERE are they now ???

"I'm thankful for the services and information the agents provide to help me travel freely through out the United States."

Just another happy lil' foreign criminal, thoughtfully aided and abetted by our so-called "law enforcement" officers.

Gosh, doya think they'd be that helpful to any of us after catching us doing something wrong?

Not.

Unbelievable, why not just open the d**n borders to anyone who wants to come in. No, wait we've already done that. What is the purpose of ICE if not to arrest/ apprehend illegal border crossings and prosecute/ remove them from this country?

NO......citizens would probably get the 6 month jail sentence that our laws mandate for 'first time illegal border crossers'.

Sad to say that we have not learned our lesson yet. If another terrorist strike happens because we refused to protect our borders, George Bush can kiss his legacy goodbye. The liberals will see to that.

I just came up with a better idea, why not post the ICE employees on the other side of the border, have them escort the criminals/ terrorists into the country, then give them a hot meal, bus passes, etc. We can then charge the illegals like the coyotes do and all will be well... sheesh!

This is a joke right? I think this is the most laughable example of failed law enforcement that I have ever been witness to. Enough is enough. Call your government officials and let them know how you really feel. Tired of having your security compromised and your tax-payer pocket picked? Then do something about it!

Thats pretty much what i was going to say. Pull their funding completely. What are we wasting money for? cut their entire budget, keep one guy on "billy bob" give him 40 grand a year to sit in a shack 20 miles from the Texas/Mexico border. He'll be as effective and we'll save millions of dollars.

This crap really burns my ass

Howsabout we drop them off at the border in their own country and make them promise never to come back?

Short of that, drop them off and get the promise, but dip them in some of that indelible voting dye the Iraqis used so we can easily identify them until they do.

""I'm thankful for the services and information the agents provide to help me travel freely through out the United States."

The problem is nearly 70 percent of the illegal immigrants never show up for their court date. "

WAKE UP AMERICA!

"Well because of this, the media attention, we're always looking for ways to do things better. Sometimes doing the right thing is not always the popular thing, we're going to continue doing the right thing and that's protecting America and enforcing immigration laws in the U.S."

No you're not insulting our intelligence, it's all in our heads.

We're awake. Bush is sleeping at the wheel on this, though.

I say if they get 'caught' coming over, we still let them go if they are not criminals.

BUT.. we take COMPLETE Biometrics. Retinal scan, fingerprint, DNA, Thermal Image, Photo ID, AND Implant them with a GPS (that the US gov't will remove AT THE COURT HEARING)

IF they try to 'run' or not show up, or remove the chip, they get PERMANENTLY expeled from the US, with NO CHANCE of permanent citizenship EVER (and since we have complete biometirics, it will acutally be enforceable)

What a joke.

W's immigration policies so far are going to be his true Achilles heel...and our's too as a nation.

Simply incredible and irresponsible.

Tony Blair gets it!


TONY BLAIR, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: The public concern about this is very simple. It's a play by the rules concern. It's a concern that people, for example, who come in to claim asylum should be genuine refugees, that people who come in to work or study here should genuinely be coming in to work or study, and therefore what you need in place are strict controls that work in the interest of the country that mean that only the people who play by the rules come in, and those that don't, don't.
