Foreign visitors fear sudden arrests by INS' 'absconder' detail

Please give me your opinion of this article.

It was easy as pie to place blame on clintoon for 9/11, at least in my mind, therefore, it was easy for the current administration to do so as well. If we have another 9/11 level event, the blame will fall squarely on the current administration, and us. I don't know where the cheerleaders will run to then. It would seem to me that common sense can't penetrate the beltway around D.C., but that's been obvious for a few decades. What's the excuse for the individual State's that won't act to secure their own border's? It should be clear to all who'll care to notice, the fed's are not going to act, so the border State's must act. All of the screaming for military patrols on the border's, should now be directed to the Govenor Mansion's across the land, call for them to pull their NG Troops from the lame airport security detail's, and police our border's. I can see no logical reason for this to continue. The NG is intended to be at the State's beck and call, for the security of the State, therefore the security of the nation. Screw the Pol's at the national level, withhold whatever tax monies that get sent to D.C., and use it in the border State's to defend this nation, or we shall surely perish as a nation. Send them a reciept. Marine Inspector, few would blame the individual that is tasked to work under the rules laid down by the behemoth that is the fedgov, perhaps a massive walkout is in order for you people. The fedgov is rotten to the core, and we the people expect some miracle, in that we expect them to police themselve's. It ain't gonna happen. I accuse us, the people for allowing this to continue, and we the people, will be just as guilty as the fedgov, if it happens again, and it will happen again. We've done nothing to prevent it.

Some of the folks who are critical of INS should make themselves aware of just how difficult it can be to track down someone who has "over stayed" a visa.

First of all, thank you for this highly informative post. Here's my question:

For the most part, we can now see light at the end of the tunnel.

It has been almost 10 months since that tragic day, and hope is fading. ... I thought many things were going to change for the good. I thought wrong.

How do you reconcile your two comments here? First you say you can see light at the end of the tunnel and then later you say hope is fading. Thank you!

Appreciate the "Ammo" Marine Inspector! Thanks.

I did the math on the FY 2002 BORDER PATROL APPREHENSIONS, and the monthly average works out to be 79558 apprehensions!

Thats a huge number for each month!
