Please don't misinterpret people here - I know I appreciate the job you do at INS. To me, JBTs are usually folks like ATF and the DEA that tend to prey on Americans. What we don't appreciate are the ridiculous orders and guidelines that you are forced to follow - rules that were most likely made during the 'toon years. The frustration level must be very high, as you are obviously one who takes your duty as an American seriously.

In fact, there are many of us who would like to help the INS do its' job - even volunteering - whether at the border or reporting on illegals already here. What we need are laws that get these people out of our country, and keep them out. The rules need to be followed by the courts. After all, how many have you caught multiple times?

How many have I caught multiple times?

(Sigh) I couldn't even begin to count.

The usual day for an Agent goes something like this.. The Agent drives to the border, catches a group of illegal aliens and takes their biographical info. If they are Mexican, they get what is called a "VR" or "Voluntary Return". Within two hours the aliens are back in Mexico. Aliens that are other than Mexican go thru a removal proceeding when they request a voluntary return to the country of origin.
