excerpt:

"The latest incident comes three days after ICE authorities released 11 illegals who were found in a van by Fairfax County police during a traffic stop in Annandale on Sunday. The illegals were processed and released because immigration officials said they did not pose a threat to the public.

Authorities ordered the 11 Mexican nationals, three of whom are children, to return to immigration offices in Northern Virginia today for further processing. Officials said they did not know where the illegals were staying in the meantime."

Estimates I've heard are that there may be 200,000 illegal aliens in Virginia, with most of them living in northern Virginia, which means the DC suburbs. Why would anyone be surprised by 12 of them in a van?

"Immigration is principally a federal issue, and because of that we have to look to the federal government to enforce immigration standards," he said. "Federal law enforcement in this area is a total sham. No one is willing to enforce immigration laws any longer."

Somehow this bothers me. The Federal authorities don't enforce Federal law - except when it is to their ($) benefit.

Terrorists should be afraid - really afraid! (sarcasm)

They on their way to N. Car. to get in-state tuition rate in college. There's an obscure Fed?Guv. agency which hands out grants to those who which to help illegals get here and go to college. Ever wonder which college Bin Laddie would/is enrolled in? MIT? Purdue? Harvard? Sarcasm, but it sounds so much like true Fed/Guv. mindset.
