We've had almost ten years to get this right and accomplished little or nothing.

[Mr. Mojo]

This may seem unbelievable,

Alas, it doesn't.

[WOBBLY BOB]

We spent more money and created DHS.

other than that, nothing.

[Secret Agent Man]

It isn’t unbelievable, it is most likely delberate and desired by this administration.

[jazusamo]

Correct. The Bush administration wasn’t near tough enough on illegals and Zero/Nappy are worse.

[jospehm20]

I’ll bet they know where everybody that does not like Barky is though.

[unixfox]

Funny how they can track you down like a dog if you owe a stinking dime on your taxes but can't find MILLIONS that are wandering around our country doing who knows what.

This govt. is so corrupt it's starting to feel like Cuba.

[pnh102]

Bring in Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Yes, really.

[Ingtar]

How do you lose track of something you never had track of in the first place?

[Doogle]

.....when it comes, and IT WILL,most involved will simply state, well we tried........and the media will after a few weeks start with “can’t we all just get along”, and “it’s time to move on”.
I mentioned the other day to a close friend, if clinton had the balls, we could have avoided a lot of the last ten years.
He started to say, “you can’t say that”...I stopped him and said, with no command, things could have been different, and YOU CAN’T SAY NOTHING!.........he didn’t

[pallis]

Just look for Democratic Party registrants.

[paul51]

Anything the gov’t touches will inevitably get totally messed up. It's a given

[Regulator]

We've had almost ten years to get this right and accomplished little or nothing

That's on purpose

[Meet the New Boss]

Solution: RFID chip implanted in the left butt cheek of every muslim granted a visa.

[muawiyah]

This is a Judicial Watch article? Right? One of our own?

And they're all lawyers!

Think about it ~ you have a visitor here on a visitor visa and he overstays.

JD called such a person an IMMIGRANT!

No, people who come here on VISITS are not immigrants. They are visitors or tourists!

Let's hear it for some purity in language. BTW, this one ranks right up there with the ol'gal who described some Africans burning cars and rioting in France as "African Americans".

Some things cry out for "no no no no no no no no".

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[kabar]

Actually it is closer to 15 years since the US-VISIT program was authorized in 1996 to track visa overstays. It has never been fully implemented. Bush was terrible and Obama is just as bad if not worse, which is saying something.

[jazusamo]

Thanks. I didn't realize the program was authorized then, I was counting from 9/11, the lack of enforcement by all is pathetic.

[Sarabaracuda]

More Bush bashing. What exactly did you expect him to do? Immigration should be handled by the states not the federal government. If the residents of the states, especially the border states, had taken care of things like they were supposed to, we wouldn’t be in this mess.

[jazusamo]

Don't give me that Bush bashing stuff. I've supported him as many FReepers have but he was not known for a conservative illegal immigration policy. In case you haven't noticed it was the feds responsibility when he was in office.
