One million people facing immigration procedings have been released into the general population, the government's chief of detention and removal told the Senate yesterday, prompting some Republicans to say the Bush administration is "not serious" about the problem.
"We have a million individuals who are in some phase of immigration proceedings released," said Victor X. Cerda, the acting director of detention and removal operations for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (ICE)
He said of those people, 465,000 are fugitive aliens who have been ordered deported. About 80,000 of those are criminal aliens who have committed an offense in addition to immigration violations, but he couldn't provide an exact number.

You took the words right out of my mouth!
Heaven help any of us CITIZENS who might run afoul of the law, even unintentionally. And that grows more and more likely with the oppressive maze of often contradictory laws and regulations under which we currently live.
The worst thing is, any CITIZEN who dares to do anything about the problem is immediately branded a "racist" or a "vigilante" by the media, or, in the case of the Minutemen Project, by the President himself.
Disgusting, beyond mere words.
When Bush calls unarmed senior citizens with no criminal records " vigilantes" something has got to give. There are many cities here in California where it is no longer safe to drive at night, as the illegals control the streets.
From reading the title, I thought this was going to be a scrappleface thread :(
"I'm beginning to think Bush doesn't know anything about illegals coming to America. He said he never reads a newspaper or watches TV news shows, or listens to news on the radio."
I would like to believe that, swampfox, but it defies credulity that our President is that far removed from reality. And if he is, only God can help us.
Barkeep, make that a triple...........
Can someone please tell me WTF Bush is doing ?
Hes making me have regrets i never had to have before !
Ooops, I forgot. The I.C.E. and our border policy is part and parcel of the federal government under a Republican Administration. So were supposed to shut up and not say anything, and wait until a Democrat is the the White House before we can sound off. /sarc
Nightmare??? It's a farkin' outrage!
Apparently our judges don't know the meaning of word "illegal".
Sorry, beekay, you and everyone else who are so willing to give GW a "pass" on this one, are ignoring the facts

He does NOT have to worry about getting re-elected, so what is he F'N waiting for? Another 9-11?
The further dumbing down of America by G.W. Bush, on purpose..
Soon America will be too dumb to know or care about Global Government some other travesty and/or the prevalent socialism... Canadians are abject cowards to rise up against their government, evidently Americans are too..
It seems to working.. too..
soon the 2nd amendment will be only for hunting or target practice and not to make revolution LEGAL... all the gun rights orgs. just want to HAVE them.. WHY?.. target practice.?. Don't answer you know the answer.. I do too..
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
"The Congress shall have Power to provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections
BUMP - Must read thread.
I really believe this is the issue that could catalyze a real third party movement in the US. If we have some event, another terror attack, or rioting, or some horrible crime , and it's shown to be directly related to illegals and our lack of border security, the great majority will finally say ENOUGH and sweep away from office anyone who stands in the way of getting control of this problem.
I cannot wait for this 16-year Clinton administration to end.
Stammering, stuttering and pandering.
"makes him look like a one world promoter, which we know he is not. Not!"
Get your head out of the sand!
Bush was born and raised in a family that has been against us being an independant nation since before the Revolution.
He's a one world socialist and a northeast liberal that just happens to live in Texas.
Have you never heard of sarcasm. my friend? Example: Algor is an intelligent politician who should have been president. NOT! Get it?
It's really fun for someone on FR to tell me to get my head out of the sand concerning GB. Usually, I am about 2 inches away from being termiinated by the Republicans here for being so anti immigration, and pointing the finger at the man responsible, George Bush - and add Karl Rove to that.
It is should be a nightmare. Unfortunately, it is reality, and not TV!
We just have to pay for it all...including the greedy numbnuts in DC, who want cheap grass service!
