This has been going on for some time. Catch and release of border intruders from Special Interest Countries (terrorist supporting nations) is a known problem by some. This is the first time that I've seen it make a newscast. Hopefully this will spark the outrage that it deserves and this practice will be stopped. It is intolerable that post-9/11 we're still releasing invaders from terrorist supporting nations on their own recognizance - hoping (even though 70% never come back) that they'll show up for their court dates.

Ping!

Here we go again. Our laws are flouted, our security is compromised and our Social Systems are plundered - All in the name of Immigrants (Not the omission of the term 'Illegal' in the heading) coming here 'To do jobs no American will do' or 'To assimilate into America and support their families at home' (The 'Compassionate' version of the drivel).

There is a day of reckoning coming on this matter and I know which side I want to be when it does. I hope our Leaders do as well although, from what I've seen to date, they simply do not understand, or refuse to recognize, the depth of feeling on this subject held by most Americans.

"Immigrations will drop off, I call them entrepreneurs that are people seeking a better life. They come through the doors, we meet them and start them off with phone card, so they can call their family, if they're in need of money, we assist them with retrieving money through Western Union here at the bus station."

You da man, Luther! Just when I think I've seen it all...

This is inexcusable, period. NO credible justification. The states may just have to take on the responsibility - FULL responsibility - themselves. They ought to tell the Border Patrol to get the hell out and stay out, if this is the way they're going to 'enforce' existing immigration laws.

There is another thread from earlier today that contains a little fireworks on this very subject:

It is getting time for citizens to take matters into their own hands. I think there are already civilian patrols in Ca. Someone needs to hijack the van of illegals and take them anywhere out of the USA.

Why would anyone in his right mind, including the President, *not* see this as a major problem?

This is the dirty little secret. The INS/Border Patrol is to slovenly and disorganized to deport all these people because it has to be done via airplane. Lots of flights would have to lined up along with proper security and other logistical hassles. Illegal alien Mexicans are simply bussed back to Mexico, which is easy as pie.

This could all be taken care of by establishing a tent city detention center out in the desert with a landing strip for airplanes. Make it the way sheriff Joe Arpaio makes his (photos)

HARLINGEN, Texas Border Patrol Releases Immigrants at Bus Station

This has to be breaking every Federal and State 'health' law ever written!

Where are the 'CDC' and U.N. 'police' on this issue?

(Is the U.S.A. REALLY envolved with a 'War on Terrorism'?)
