There's more than 2000 INS Agents. There are over 9000 Agents in the Border Patrol alone. I don't see a problem with rounding up all the illegals and shipping them out. We have the manpower we just don't have the will.

Well, I work for the INS, more explicitly, I work for the Border Patrol. I know this isn't exactly a source, and I'm not trying to criticize your numbers. My point is, that we can end illegal immigration with the man power we have. I'm just one man and I can shut down one to five miles of border by myself depending on the terrain. The fact is, we have INS/Border Patrol Agents doing hooky roo assignments like reading to elementary school students instead of catching illegals. There are three primary reasons why our border are a mess. Politics, political correctness and apathy. Some people want to put the military on the border, but without the cajones to enforce immigration laws in the first place it's all for naught. We have everything we need to control the borders in place already. We just need the guts.
