It's obvious that the government agencies we have now are inadequate to cope with this sort of criminal activity. We need more government agencies. We will not be safe till the government has more investigative power and personel.

"No crime was apparent, but when neither James nor Malvo could produce legal identification, Border Patrol agents Raymond R. Ruiz and Keith Olson arrested James and Malvo, classified them as ``illegal stowaway'' and recommended _____________

"That's the way it's supposed to happen, too."

And that's just the way it did...apparently.

Yes! We also need more laws, and lots of them.
The more complex and burdensome they are on law-abiding citizens the better.

Actually heard Richard Bey on WABC radio yesterday insisting that the fact that the gun laws aren't enforced is because the NRA won't let the laws be enforced.

This kind of kookburger leftist thinking is why we are overrun with illegals who aren't deported and murderers who obtain guns illegally aren't arrested immediately.

Glad to know all this is the fault of the NRA......ggggggggrrrrrrr

Our failure to simply believe that our enemies meant what they said, and to take appropriate and effective measures to prevent them from infiltrating our borders, will unfortunately lead to the deaths of thousands, if not millions, of innocent citizens.

I'm not sure which is more offensive, to contrive the LIES and repeat them; or to actually believe them.

The scary thing is Bey and his ilk really do believe their own duplicities.

Have you heard the hysterical reactions of many on the right to strict enforcement, strict surveillance of those deemed suspicious. We are fighting the battle on every side........UPHILL every step of the way.

[OldFriend]

The left is hysterically trying to find something, anything to justify the failures of their own weak-kneed reactions to every problem confronting the country. Be it economic or national security. They are so soft on crime and just don't know anything other than frantic hysterical charges.

I would pity them but they are dangerous.

I read somewhere that during the killing spree in the DC area this couple was stopped around 11 times, yet let go because the cops were looking for a white male. What made them focus on a white male?

[Reeses]

this couple was stopped around 11 times

All the police had to do was survey license plates at road blocks after every shooting, feed them into a simple computer program to look for duplicates, and the police would have caught these guys after the second, or at worst third, murder. Equipment to record license plates already exists and is used at toll bridges. Why not add them to freeway overpasses? This is public information; a private company could do this. This information would be commercially valuable as well, for economists and even mutual funds looking to gauge sales activity.

[Dante3]

I don't know which reports to believe. One had the police respond to Lantz's 911 call within 20 minutes. Other reports stated that it was abot 2.5 hours before the first car showed up and the sniper couple was arrested.

'In light of the Malvo case, a new congressional investigation of the INS is in order. And we'll probably get one.'

We had better get more than just 'another' investigation.
I'm beginning to think what we need is protection from the INS.
