INS has been unable to enforce 300,000 deportations

Weekly meetings with a immigration parole officer for any non-citizen in the country should be the rule. They should have to defend what they are doing here. We should be talking to their neighbors, their employers, teachers, etc.

[FITZ]

And yet look how many agents they came up with terrorize and deport one little six year old boy. Maybe we could convince Janet Reno that Muslim terrorists aren't good and send her out to get them.

Massive deportations of "suspects" are for all practical purposes... impossible...

There is simply no way to make it work...

Other solutions will have to be found...

And eliminating the freedom of citizens is not it...

[Andreas Peyser]

Wow, now I feel even more safe than I did before! All non-citizens should be required by law to report to the INS every so often AND carry a national picture ID card that can be checked at any time. They do NOT have the same civil rights as an American citizen does!

[Standing Wolf]

Any time anyone does any business with any government agency, he or she should be required to provide valid identification and proof of citizenship. Did you just get pulled over for speeding? It's time to prove who you are. Are you taking a child to kindergarten for the first day? It's time to prove who both you and the child are.

Enough is enough!

Never forget, one of the cornerstones of Al Gore's much heralded Re-Inventing Government, was his intentional crippling/corruption of the INS so that thousands of immigrants could enter the country in time to vote in the 1996 presidential election.

And never forget, Clinton installed Doris Meissner as head of the INS, who allowed the rape of INS to proceed.

And for some really obscure info, who was Doris married to?

"Charles Meissner, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for International Economic Policy.
Died: UNK - Following Ron Brown's death, John Huang was placed on a Commerce Department contract that allowed him to retain his security clearance by Charles Meissner. Shortly thereafter, Charles Meissner died in the crash of a small plane."

Would thinking about reporting people who look like they might be green card holders go under the title of "reporting suspicious activity?"

And your solution?

[DoughtyOne]

When Pat Buchanan addressed our immigration polices, which included visa considerations and moratoriums, many of my friends here on FreeRepublic unleashed a litany of labels that would have made Ted Kennedy blush.  Well folks, the chickens have come home to roost.  I'm sure those who unmercifully attacked Mr. Buchanan will offer up their apologies on this thread.

Pat was accused of demagoging the issue.  Now we know who really was.

We need a complete and massive overhaul of our immigration, visa and naturalization policies.  An immigration moratorium of ten years and a complete analysis of who, what and where we have let in is an absolute must!

"And your solution?"

Vigilantism works for me. Citizen soldiers, so to speak.

And eliminating the freedom of citizens is not it...

How does this effect the "freedom of citizens"? Are we not talking about foreigners who over-stay or are in violation of their visas?

[Ferris]

And your solution?

Not sure...

But that still doesn't change the fact that massive deportations are impossible to achieve...

All the people that think something like that could even remotely be executed successfully are simply not facing reality...

They might as well demand we send all terrorists to the moon...

[Ferris]

How does this effect the "freedom of citizens"?

I didn't say that it did... But the desire of the government to "do something" can very easily result in the death of your freedom... Massive deportations are not possible... So the next step that could easily be attemped, with sheeple support, would be massive government control of people here...

Are we not talking about foreigners who over-stay or are in violation of their visas?

If they can't get out 300,000 people, then they can't get out the millions of possible terrorist suspects...

Au contraire. Most people in a given community know *exactly* where the immigrants live. House-to-house searches would be a good place to start. We're not talking about restricting the freedoms of citizens here. We're talking about *criminals* who are not even US citizens to start with. We CAN deport illegal aliens if we have the national will to do it.

[sarcasm]

We are not talking about your typical illegal alien here - the government know who they are. All local police agencies, as well as federal, should be looking for these individuals. Start with them and then ferret out the rest of the illegal population through workplace enforcement.

[Clinton's a rapist]

You are advancing a classic straw man argument which implies that only a massive military/police effort could be used to deport the umpteen thousands of illegal aliens then knock the idea down by saying it is impossible anyway. The solution is to beef up the INS and border patrols and grant local police more power to detain suspects until the INS can clear them. It would probably take a few years to deport most of the illegals in this country but the mission would ultimately be successful. Plus, as word gets out that America is no longer a playpen for the welfare seekers and criminals of this world you can bet that foreign nationals with ill-intent will think twice before trying to take advantage of our good will.

Honestly, why restrict ourselves to deporting (currently) illegal aliens? A FReeper yesterday reported having checked a fed website relating to issuance of green cards, which said that green cards can be revoked by the Secretary of State. Why not revoke all green cards for all citizens of middle-eastern states? It's our right. We don't need to give a reason. A simple statement would do: "We hope you have enjoyed your stay in the USA. Please consider visiting again in the future, when we have better control of national security issues."

Any that refuse to go would make themselves criminals. Deporting illegals would be much easier than in the past, with so many watchful eyes applying sensible "profiling."
