Dear Mr. Steplock, THIS IS NOT AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE
Thank you for your submission to the FBI Internet Line. After evaluating your information, it is our determination that your complaint should be reported to the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE). BICE is responsible for investigating violations of the criminal and administrative provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and other related provisions of the United States Code. In addition, BICE is responsible for promoting the public safety and national security by ensuring the departure from the United States of all removable aliens through the fair enforcement of the nation's immigration laws.
You can visit the BICE web site at http://www.bice.immigration.gov to determine the steps you need to take to report the individuals you mention in your tip. Thank you very much for your diligence in this matter.
For your information, the Internet Tip Line (ITL) was created on 9/11/01, in response to the terrorist attacks upon America. We quickly established a mechanism for the public to submit information to the FBI via the Internet, and we received our first tip at 10:31 AM that first day. Director Mueller has since made the ITL a permanent part of FBI operations, and we have thus far received over 700,000 tips from around the globe, from which thousands of leads have been sent to FBI Field and Legal Attache offices for action.
Initially, almost 100% of the tips received were related to the terrorist attacks; now, approximately 45% of all tips received are related to almost every other FBI criminal program, e.g., drug trafficking, organized crime, money laundering, pyramid schemes, child pornography, fugitives, bank robbery.
Our operation is completely automated and paperless. Submitted tips are received immediately, reviewed within minutes and prioritized by trained Professional Support personnel, and action leads are set by Agents within the hour, as appropriate.
I encourage you to share this information with your family, friends, and co-workers, and encourage them to not hesitate to submit information they may deem of interest to the FBI.
Once again, thank you for reporting your information to the FBI.
IMPORTANT - NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
The FBI does not maintain an email address to submit information or attachments to directly; therefore, please do not reply directly to this message via your email client. The FBI maintains an automated system that is designed to track all information received to ensure that all tips are addressed in a timely and efficient manner. Therefore, please visit the FBI.GOV Web site again should you have occasion to submit additional information. We will not open or respond to "reply" email.
Sincerely,
David N. Rushing/smc Supervisory Special Agent FBI Headquarters Washington, D.C.

Doubt it will go on indefinitely.

I wonder what would happen if there was a huge backlash to illegal immigration? Would the participants be sent to sensitivity training seminars? Or would it be easier and cheaper to just shoot 'em?
