Johnson -- and other critics -- say they're concerned the official who resisted immigration enforcement in Houston will now be in charge of promoting it.

Don't have to worry about HIM promoting it.

Delegation of Immigration Authority Section 287(g) Immigration and Nationality Act:

The 287(g) program, one of ICE’s top partnership initiatives, allows a state and local law enforcement entity to enter into a partnership with ICE, under a joint Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), in order to receive delegated authority for immigration enforcement within their jurisdictions. The 287(g) program has emerged as one of the agency’s most successful and popular partnership initiatives as more state and local leaders have come to understand how a shared approach to immigration enforcement can benefit their communities.

Officer Selection Requirements

Participating officers in the 287(g) program must meet the following requirements:

•U.S. citizenship •Current background investigation completed •Minimum two years experience in current position •No disciplinary actions pending

Training Requirements

ICE offers a 4-week training program now held at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) ICE Academy (ICEA) in Charleston, SC, conducted by certified instructors. 287(g) Results and Participating Entities

Currently ICE has 287(g) agreements with 71 law enforcement agencies in 26 states. Since January 2006, the 287(g) program is credited with identifying more than 160,000 potentially removable aliens – mostly at local jails. ICE has trained and certified more than 1,130 state and local officers to enforce immigration law.

And the Mayor of Houston during this debacle is now running for Governor of Texas. If White is successful there will be no border between Texas and Mexico.

Kyl admitted that Obama told him he would do nothing to protect the border, as there would then be no impetus for Republicans to vote for(CIR)i.e. amnesty.
