YUMA, ARIZ. --When Border Patrol agents here meet for "the muster," their gathering before the night shift, they've got a lot to talk about. On a recent evening, shift commander Tony Martinez ticked off a laundry list of events from the night before. Scores of illegal immigrants had rushed the 8-foot metal fence that separates San Luis, Ariz., from Mexicali, Mexico--a tactic known as the "banzai run." A routine checkpoint stop turned up 251 bundles of marijuana in a rental car. And a report out of Miami indicated that some illegals were getting plastic surgery on their fingertips so their prints wouldn't be recognized by the FBI's database. "Remember Casa Grande," Martinez warned, referring to an incident when an agent found three axes and three loaded guns in an illegal immigrant's duffel bag. "And please, be careful."

LOU DOBBS/BrokenBorders/Cnn http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0510/24/ldt.01.html Aired Oct. 24, 2005 And millions of foreigners in this country illegally, not because they crossed our borders illegally, but because their visas have expired. You'll be shocked -- I think you will be shocked to hear just how few immigration officials we have assigned to track down all of those people with expired visas.

CHRISTINE ROMANS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Visa holders who overstay exit date in this country can easily disappear into American life with little risk from immigration authorities. A report from the Homeland Security inspector general estimates at least 3.6 million illegal aliens are people here who overstayed their visas. Yet last year, there were only 51 agents dedicated to tracking visa violators.

REP. J.D. HAYWORTH, (R) ARIZONA: If there are so-called good people overstaying their visas, there are really bad people too. And more than just your garden variety of criminal, probably in that group, sad to say, are those folks who belong to terrorist cells who mean to do us harm. ROMANS: Immigration and Customs Enforcement received more than 300,000 leads last year on visa violators. The inspector general found authorities investigated just over 4,000 and apprehended only 671.(snip)

Gotta pick a lot of lettuce to pay for that.

Lettuce are of no concern for an Islamist terrorist carry a nuke across the border undetected. Think it has happened yet?

Bush and Fox would be proud!

[nicmarlo]

Isn't it, though!

[Borax Queen]

We need the labor; we have labor shortages; Americans don't want to work; immigrants help our nation; we are a nation of immigrants; immigrants pay more into the system than they take out...

Clear now?

[Borax Queen]

Oh and a fence would divide our countries that Jorge is so desperately trying to unite by 2010.

"Unfortunately, all politicians love illegal immigration :("

Yes, almost all. And they should be the first ones deported. If they really want to be surrounded by third-world peoples, nothing would please me more than accomodating them by giving them a one-way ticket to Chiapas or Guatemala.

"Clear now?"

In other words, the usual Quisling talking points.

[nicmarlo]

clear as mud. : )

[nicmarlo]

and don't forget, his nephew's been down there, campaigning already.

[Borax Queen]

lol

and, oh NO about the nephew - please keep reminding me because I tend to forget!

[nicmarlo]

somehow, I don't think you'll be allowed to forget....the campaigning will be continuing, for quite a few more years. : )

[Borax Queen]

Can't we just clean house and start fresh with American patriots? I nominate Czar for Pres.

[Czar]

Thanks for your confidence and support--even though you are kidding--but, believe me, I have absolutely no political ambitions whatsoever.
