Of the 8,908 notices to appear that the immigration court in nearby Harlingen issued last year to non-Mexicans, 8,767 failed to show up for their hearings, according to statistics compiled by the Justice Department's Executive Office of Immigration Review. That is a no-show rate of 98 percent.

Wow... This has to stop.

[bkwells]

Ping!

[lodwick]

Well done, Jorge.

Your masters are well-pleased.

[gogipper]

Yes, we lament with you!

[joesnuffy]

When you are easy...you get used

[HiJinx]

Nah, there's no problem when the administration suggests we provide legal status...nor when they call concerned American citizens vigilants...no, come on up, we love you!!!

Once on the U.S. side, the Brazilians scrambled ashore and started looking for the Border Patrol.

Sounds like word has gotten around down there, "America wants and loves illegal immigrants". Hmmm, wonder who told them that?

It's time to stock to Rio Grand with piranha.

To Conservative American,

I understand your upset. It is very unfair isn't it? All the time and money you spent getting here.

Many people are trying to right this wrong position our government (yours and mine) has taken. Not sure how long you've been a citizen but if you haven't already signed up to vote, DO! That's one thing we American's can do, vote out the wrongdoers. It appears to be our last hope.

And yet we compile and maintain no-fly lists for the terrorists too stupid to just walk across the southern border. It's a good thing we're the only superpower. I'd hate to think of a world with two nuclear adversaries this incapable of rational self defense.

A Guatemalan arrested late last month in the McAllen sector who gave his name as Hugo said that when word gets back home, "Anyone who has a little money will be coming."

Others with the Border Patrol complained that they are being reduced to little more than gun-toting travel agents in uniforms.

Deeds, not words, are the deterrant, and VOTING is our most powerful deed!

Our country is at risk, so we need to inform our leaders at the ballot box!

[DumpsterDiver]

I have to go through all those procedures and become a citizen with tears (literally) in my eyes--finally I'm a free man. They can just sneak in like that and cause trouble for the country I love so much? it's so unfair.

Yes it's unfair, but you're a welcome addition to this country and they are not.

"Anytime you have temporary facilities, you have a degradation of services, you have anxieties," said Marc Moore, who administers 1,700 detention spaces.

Is Marc Moore speaking for himself or acting on orders? I think that given the fact we're literally being invaded we need to find out.

Hey Howlin,

I have a good idea.

Why don't you get on this thread and tell a bunch of people who volunteered for GWB's campaign that we hate him, because we are angry about a serious threat to our country that he is ignoring?

I'm sure it will go over just smashingly.

Cheers.
