I didn't read the whole article, so this may have been addressed. It is also important to note that illegal aliens are seldom processed when they come in contact with police departments and emergency services departments including hospital facilities. Therefore this 350,000 or 1,000,000 number would skyrocket five to seven times if our nation were treating the problem of illegal immigration seriously. We're not. And we won't. End of story.

These are actual deportees, not just illegal aliens.

It’s really become vogue lately to bash the INS and I, for one, am sick of it. It’s just in bad taste. Exactly like making fun of a retarded kid.

I’m sure they’re doing the best they can, the problem is two fold:
· One, much like many other government agencies, they are totally incompetent. Despite the efforts of some of the brave men and women who take their mission seriously, and are on the front line guarding our borders, the agency has become a works program for those too dim and unmotivated to find a job elsewhere, but too proud for welfare.

· Two, there is a serious mis-understanding starting at the top and filtering on down that the mission of the agency is not to assure that our borders are controlled, but that all immigration is assisted. Be this using government resources to build “travelers aid stations” along the mexican border, granting citizenship interviews in a myriad of languages, or sending deceased terrorists visas, they are working hard to flood this country with inassimilable third world peoples.

Again, the leadership of the INS is made up of those with so little brain activity that they fail to even qualify as liberals.

Someone else said it here two days ago: Aside from the border guards, end immigration and shut the INS until we have a sensible immigration system in place. For those wishing to visit, either come from a country that doesn't require a visa, or stay home.

Yes, this should be very clearly understood. The numbers discussed in this article are "absconders". That is not simply foreign nationals who are illegally in this country. Those numbers are well over 10 million.

This article refers to people who were actually deported by court order, and who ran and are now fugitives within the US.

Try 15 million.

But you have to segment the problem:

Moslems first, please.

Criminals have got to go. Period.

Malingerers and welfare cheats next. This will cut Democrat vote fraud in half, at least. This, alone, would ensure Republican Senate and House majorities for as far as can be predicted.

But the fact is, we can't send them all home. Mexico would implode, and your office would never get vacuumed. And toilets would start to smell bad. We need a guest worker program. In fact we HAVE some guest worker programs already. How do you think Massachustts apple orchards get picked? Does anyone complain about the huge influx of Jamaicans, etc., in the fall here? Nope. Most people don't ever see one apple picker. They're nice folks, too, if you ever get to meet them. Would be the same with Mexicans if we handled them the same way.

Yes, it's a joke. Yes, it's a disaster. But it will be ignored by our ruling class, which is in the process of selling us out.

"INS does not know which illegal aliens granted voluntary departure by immigration judges have left the United States because the process for verifying departures is flawed," says the report.

Are these people still working with quill pens and bound ledger books? Any half-decent office manager in the private sector could come up with a workable system in a week for tracking this stuff. And they'd probably be fired if they didn't perform.

How about transporting the illegals right from the courtroom to a holding tank, and then putting them on a plane back to the homeland? Even I would be willing to see my tax dollars used for this.

Here's what I can't understand: Why aren't illegal aliens automatically deportees?

Good question. But you'd think we could at least handle the ones we actually CAUGHT and then ORDERED DEPORTED!

YOU have GOOD points.....from what I've heard the POLITICIANS are the ones who make it IMPOSSIBLE for the INS to do their jobs - they get "reassigned" to a room with no windows, or retired if they follow the laws as strictly as WE would like them to. It's time to WRITE your CONGRESSCRITTERS folks.....THEY are the problem.

In a written statement to Human Events, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) has conceded it cannot vouch for the accuracy of its claim that there are 314,000 immigration "absconders" in the United States. Absconders is the agency’s term for illegal aliens who have been ordered deported by immigration judges but who remain in the country anyway.

And why are these deportees? They are because they were here illegally and were found, processed and ordered to leave. What I am saying is that the deportee number would have been vastly higher if all illegals that were observed by the agencies I mentioned, were processed for deportation.

Does that make more sense?

I don't think anyone is refering to the old Bracero program here. People that come here seasonally and return home are fine by me. As for office help I'll say it once again, we have people on welfare in every sector of our nation. Put them to work and then get back to me.

How can one argue with such an obvious truth!
