I know all about Ziglar's libertarian dedication to open borders and his outright refusal to enforce immigration laws. He has flat out said he has no interest in finding and deporting illegals. Mass deportation effort unlikely, INS chief says (For those who don't believe it.) The man is a disgrace. And Bush obviously knew his views when he nominated him, as did congress when they confirmed him. They are equally culpable and complicit in the silent invasion of the US.
However, I find it hard to believe that anyone except an enemy would knowingly let individual suspected terrorists run freely in the country without surveillance! Now you confirm that there is indeed only one phone for the entire NE.
If I assume that INS refused to have anything to do with this, why couldn't the three with phony documentation have been held on the authority of any of the others? For that matter, since they admitted that they were all illegals, why couldn't they have been held on that alone? I understand that only INS can verify whether or not someone entered the country legally, but I don't understand why they would have to be present to make an arrest for use of forged ID or admitted illegal entry. What am I missing?
At least the Libertarians would not be expanding the food stamp program to include immigrants. Many of these people are coming over just to get in on the freebies, if those were ended, we would see only the few hard-working illegals who aren't as bad of a problem as those filling the housing projects and county hospitals and welfare offices.
