What a joke. What a disaster. This cannot be ignored.

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.

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.

"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.

This is so easy to fix with a nation wide birth certificate data base. A birth certificate should be filed with the federal government, it should be part of the requirement to get a drivers license by the state, an SS card by the government. If someone is stopped for a traffic ticket and cannot produce evidence of US birth, he should be arrested and detained until the INS can pick him up and put him on a plane outta here. If the INS drags it's feet it should pay a fine to reimburse the cities jail and face legal penalties of jail time for the INS offical that is in charge of that area.
