Washington Dispatch Exclusive: Breakin at I.N.S. Creates Massive Security Breach
Washington Dispatch ^ | Monday, June 3, 2002 | Shane Cory

Posted on 06/03/2002 7:38:29 AM PDT by kristinn

The Washington Dispatch has learned, that at approximately 6 p.m. PDT on Sunday, an office of the Immigration and Naturalization Service in Tacoma, Washington was burglarized.

An inventory of missing items was made available and included the following:

An I.N.S. Admissions Stamp used in validating passports, normally permits 90 day access.

A Parolee Stamp which allows a stateless person (refugees, etc.) to enter and apply for resident alien status within one year.

D-1 and D-2 stamps which allow a ship's crewman entry for business or pleasure purposes.

An assortment of miscellaneous I.N.S. forms.

Most importantly, an I-551 stamp was reported missing. This stamp is used to create a resident alien card which permits the cardholder to become a permanent lawful resident of the United Staes.

In addition to the stamps and forms, a .40 caliber Berretta and two full magazines were also reported missing.

The Washington Dispatch is following the story and will be reporting additional details as they become available.

Well no you are correct about the problem up north at the border too. I saw the guard who stopped Ressam on tv. She was crying as she told her story. She said their procedures would not have called for Ressam to be stopped, and that it was only some inner instinct, and she hinted at God here, that made her stop him. She said later it was his hesitancy in replying to her questions that alerted her.
LA owes us one. LOL.

Also, as I was posting awhile back, the border crossing where Ressam almost got through is over on the peninsula and is known to be a tourist crossing. Sub in "easy" for tourist here. Usually it's just a bunch of tourist types going to see Victoria.
That is the very same border crossing where those supposed Israeli nationals were supposedly headed after dropping furniture in the front yard of a retirement home at about midnight in a rented truck. The one that tested positive for two different explosives but miraculously the next day tested negative for both after all.
Now we use the other border crossing to go to Canada and it is very strict. We never make it through without having to get out and go in because we have adopted kids from other countries and my husband is Canadian.

And then mad cow news tried to follow up the story and when they went to the retirement home, the woman who was the alibi for the truckers had mysteriously disappeared. From a retirement place. No one knows where she went.
Things just get murkier out here.
I personally am counting on you freepers to obtain justice on my behalf if we get blown to smithereens out here. Remember that.

ts posted, Holy Crap! I bet it was an inside job. Why would a gun be at the INS.. doesn't that sound strange?

Sure sounds like an inside job to steal the stuff or an inside job to cover up for past illegal use of these stamps to those who would harm America.

Re the gun, the INS and Border Patrol People are often armed.

This past spring a humorous happening pointed out how some Border Patrol people are armed even when off duty.

This family we know had a family reunion. Their daughter from the East Coast and her brother/their son flew up from San Diego, where is he with the Border Patrol and some special task force.

At about 2 am, the daughter hears someone trying to breakin via her bed room window. She slipped out of her room to tell her brother. He grabbed a pair of jeans, his thongs and his 9 mm. She then called 911 and was getting a run around. Then she looked out and said, "Actually you can take all the time you, my Brother is an off duty border patrol guy, he has his pistol and is handling the guy quite well. The bad guy really bounces off of the pavement and the strange truck outside right after he curses my brother."

The cops were there in a couple of minutes. The guy was arrested and turned out be an illegal alien. This time the local crybabies for illegal aliens backed away, and the guy has been handled.

Its against all common sense, the rule of the jungle to bring everyone down the the level of the lowest common denominator. I see it as the result of social engineering to have masses of dumbed people who are dependant on the government who will then vote for those who promise the most from that government. This incompetence is part of the inevitable result. Thanks Bill and Hill.

Don't let me screen name fool you. The article is true, I wrote it and confirmed it.

I can't say why other news outlets are not covering this. I wish that they would, this is significant news related to national security.

An interesting issue that was not mentioned in the article is the steps that had to be taken just to confirm the report. The FBI field office in Tacoma was contacted and unaware of the break-in or that there was even an INS office in the area. Other offices were contacted as well that should have known about the break-in, as with the FBI office, they had no-idea.

The building (World Trade Center Tacoma) was contacted and they confirmed the office existed. Shortly thereafter TWD got a call from an INS agent in the office to discuss the story.

Jimmy Carter buried a considerable number of america hating marxists in the State Department. Most of slick willie's cabinet were pulled from those who worked for Carter.

Clinton changed the political appointments of all his corrupt cronies to permanent employees when he left office.

Every institution that we depend upon to keep the government running in a semi-sane manner has been destroyed by these people.

Cleaning out our institutions will be a Herculean task; not unlike the cleaning of the Augean Stables!

GWB has now been in office 16 months. These screw-ups are becoming his responsibility.

hold on now!

what's a few ink stamps or forms?

things have come along way since the Xlinton regime was in power. remember back then they were losing top secret lap tops frequently, lost all the nuclear launch codes, and gave away the entire patent library.

With these stamps, someone could enter 'legally', on a ship, and bring others on a visa, and actually stick around long enough to become a citizen if necessary.
Yesterday, there was a thread about possible mega terrorist attacks, and someone mentioned a large purchace of scuba gear in Florida.
It sound like ships or a large ship is about to get it.
