I dont have any Border Patrol numbers yet, and it looks like it may take a while, but I will get them.
The thing that scares me is that fact that many of these 500 Iraqis may be walking freely in the US. I know INS has limited detention space and must sometimes release these folks into the US until their case is finalized.
So, how many of these Iraqis are not actually looking for asylum and are now walking around the US?
I sure dont know and I doubt the INS will tell anyone the truth.
