"Whyinthehell wasn't he tracked down when his visa expired?"
NOBODY is tracked down when their visa expires. NOBODY! Unless, you know, they kill somebody or blow up a building or something.
This is why the focus on the illegal border crossers obscures this picture. I'm quite sure we in Hudson County, NJ are DROWINING in illegals and I'm also quite sure many, if not most, arrived via airplane. With visas. From Islamic nations. Like Atta & Co.
Sure ... but it makes for better sensationalism and demogoguery.
NOBODY is tracked down when their visa expires
That's just wrong.
