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.

We've got to have a more reliable manner in which to verify that people are who they say they are.

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

Sorry, but these people work for Bush, and this happened under his leadership. Trying to push the blame on someone else this time does not work. Maybe Bush should have replaced the people who worked there, but he didn't. He chose, as the president, to leave them there. They are his employees.
It's no one elses fault this time. Bush should take the rap for this.
I'm tough, but I'm fair. Will everything bad continue to be someone elses fault until 2004? And the next 4 years(?) , too?
Wake up and smell the coffee.

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

Thinden has the idea. We just need to give dub a little more time. It took 8 yrs. of Clinton to get us in this shape, more if you count in Carter, maybe Johnson, and for sure Kennedy, so let's get more Republicans in and for longer terms. We need a veto-proof Congress also. Everything that the Good Guys wanted to fix got vetoed or kept in committees, or voted down in the House or Senate.

What have we had, maybe 2, 3 yrs. of Republicans in the WH and in control of Congress? And the Press! man, don't even get me started on the Press!

Isn't that Right, guys? huh?

Good timing, aye?
Bushs dad spoke great words about his dreams of the one world order, remember? That's why my spouce refused to vote for his re-election. He didn't want Bush Sr.s' one world order.
Like father, like son?

The way the INS operates, terrorists are probably the last people who need to break in and take their stamps (they probably have their own set already). Perhaps the forces of good did this, say to let in white farmers from Zimbabwe, who I understand are being turned down for refugee status to enter the U.S.

Yeh. I'm starting to be very concerned. Something about Bush isn't right.
Whats going on? It's like we're being guided by something right into this 'new world order' stuff. Every day we move years ahead as if we're being propelled right into it .

I'm just a dumb kinda guy, but last I heard, firing a FEDERAL employee is one of the most difficult, if not impossible things to accomplish.

Correct me if you have documentable info to the contrary.

It's up to the powers that be to change that. Bush should have done something about those laws , right? If people are a threat to his administration, he should get rid of them ASAP !!!
I swear, this man is caving to the left so fast he has no idea what he's doing anymore. Or better yet, he knows exactly what he's doing, and it's not in our best interest.
I have absolutely no faith or trust in Bush at all anymore. Not one bit.

when i used to work for the gov't. (a division of HUD), we had this case worker who literally had alzheimers. she would shake her head like a dog in a rainstorm during staff meetings and say things like "i'm not sure how much of this is sinking in; i can only take in so much." she asked the manager to repeatedly go over things again and to "slow down" so she could understand it. then she would forget how to log on to the computer right in the middle of a client interview. i or one of the other clerks had to come bolting in to correct the matter. sometimes this would happen up to four times A DAY!

at the end of the month when we ran the computer reports, we had to fix all the damage she had done (entered into the computer), including correcting dates and vital information. she screwed up so often that it became a joke: "oh, you did a (insert this lady's first name)!"

she was a tenured employee and had been there over 25 years at the time i left. she was a single woman with no family to support and was making an OBSCENE salary (equivalent to three clerk's worth) plus immense benefits. last i heard she was still working there and screwing up as much if not more than ever.

NO ONE would consider firing her, but had she been in the private sector, she would have been out on her ear 15 years ago.

Easier said than done. I'm sure he wishes this was the private sector and the housecleaning could begin. Sorry, but it don't work that way on the Fed level, and screaming at Bush for rules he can't get around is kinda useless.

Public school teachers have the same protections. They don't even fire them for pedophillia. Thay allow them to resign WITH THEIR TEACHING LICENCE STILL VALID! The teacher just goes to another state, with blessings and a letter of recomendation!

Thanks for the "inside fed info". I thought that firing fed employees was easier said than done and you have confirmed that. I wish we could see that changed, but do you suppose Daschle would let that pass a senate vote?

I'll answer that ...Of Course Not.

So, if you recieve tax payer paid paychecks, or are employees of the people, you become a member of an elite, untouchable class while the very taxpayers that feed you are forced to make their bricks without straw? Unable to question ? They become a higher life form that feeds off us as their host? And Bush does nothing to free us from this bondage? And he claims to be Christian? Pleeeeease!

Ask all the questions you want, but see post #72 for the cold hard truth. Neither you nor I like it, but tell me a REAL way to make it go away, or face the currently hard facts.
