It would be interesting to follow this case and see how illegal immigrants are "processed". It could mean they are given a court date and released into the void where the other 300,000 deportation fugitives have vanished into.

Looking for jobs in Waco? This is the worst place to find a job! And even with the rain this summer, central Texas is still not offering much work for sailors. Fishy.....

The men were never considered dangerous, but the Immigration and Naturalization Service labeled them security risks because of their country of origin. None has a criminal history.

"The information to date was they were probably just coming here for jobs," said Rick Copeland, supervisory senior FBI agent in Austin. "Nothing at this point ties them to terrorism."

GW's ranch is nearby and he usually flies into Waco to get there. It seems more than a little strange to me that these illegal "immigrants" would knowingly defy an order to stay aboard ship, then strike out half way across Texas to get a job in Waco, of all places. They could just have just as easily disappeared in Houston and had much more success finding work there. Hopefully, the FBI is keeping the lid on this one to learn more and not being PC, but I'm not holding my breath.

That's a lie, and you still don't take it seriously.
