INS is the root cause of the flood of illegal immigrants in this country. Here's proof,

Oh great, we have that waste of flesh James Kallstrom as an advisor to "fix" this problem. Ugh!

Isn't it possible for counties to get a judge to order federal LEAs to perform as required? Why all the political haggling? This seems like a clear letter-of-the-law issue. I really don't want to hear what Kallstrom "wishes" would happen. I want to see him (or Pataki) in front of a judge making it happen.

It sounds like the INS is telling law enforcement that illegal immigrants are not their yob. It's no wonder that we have hundreds of thousands of illeagls in this country and more coming every day.

Earlier this year, three dozen Florida police officers were deputized with federal arrest powers, making that state the first in the nation to approve such a measure.

I hope they work weekends and holidays, since the INS doesn't.

It's all politics. We're afraid of losing votes, especially Hispanic votes.

[MissAmericanPie]

I don't think local law and the citizens of the area can afford to jail, feed, and detain an illegal who will never be picked up by the INS and transfered back to Mexico.

There is a simple anwer to this. Let private enterprise take care of it. I'm certain some enterprising individuals will start up a company that will be happy to pick up arrested illegals and transport them by bus for processing back across the border. The cost could be covered by the INS and the local depts.

In fact I may have just found a little something to get into, any drivers on FR, I may be hiring.=o)

Yep, let the private sector bail out the government agency ...again.

I'm going to kick some doors down.
Maybe all of that WOsD training will come in handy after all.
Warning to LEOs...Illegal aliens immigrants pack heat. Who let Lee Malvo loose?

[JudyB1938]

It's my opinion that the matter would go away by itself if ALL businesses that hired illegal aliens would be fined $100,000 for each illegal. Give everybody fair warning - then lower the boom!

Bump - a good source documenting the failures of the INS is the book by Michelle Malkin - INVASION

[Reaganwuzthebest]

A trooper who speaks Spanish was called in and determined the men had recently crossed a southern border without documentation and were on their way to Rochester.

It's a matter of time now before NY State becomes just like California and Texas, thousands of illegal aliens doing the jobs "no one wants to do", while our taxes soar to pay for all the services they demand.

And where's the INS? They can't be bothered. The donut shop just opened.

BOUNTY HUNTERS

Promise to pay $1000 for every live, unharmed illegal alien they deliver to a designated government depot.

It will be just like a aluminum can drive.

The INS is not an agemcy overlaoded with work, just look at the way they stay open Mon-Fri, off weekends. SO INS violations are only during the week. Surely someone can see that this agency needs cleaning and thank little tommy d., he is the one who won't give us the homeland security and this would cure the problem.

I totally agree with you. There is an existing industry of bounty hunters that track down people who have jumped bail, so anyone claiming this would be chaotic is scaremongering.

For example: You suspect a house full of illegal aliens down the street from you: You hire a background checker who for $50/each scopes out whether they are citizens or on valid visas. You file a report on 20 of them for a filing fee of $100 each. The INS now has 20 business days to act or pay you a penalty of $250 per report. In 20 days they discover 17 out of 20 are illegals. You get $17,000 in reward money, net of $3000 in costs (keeps the bozos out o fthis business) you make $15,000 and that's probably a small fraction of the cost of building an INS investigation from the ground up.

Has been happening in TN for years. Years.

[Gritty]

I'd say this is "completely unbelieveable", but it isn't.

But it should be.

We are being overrun by illegal aliens everywhere in this country and the INS is almost worthless in this life-and-death struggle. It's long past time to get the local police involved. Then, if they can't do it, the citizens will just have to step up and take whatever action is necessary.

Scr*w the worthless INS and their PC rules! They're mostly Clinton holdovers anyway and can't be trusted.

Sheriff James Bowen said this past week that he told his deputies to hold the subjects and have INS contacted so that they could arrest the illegal immigrants and check to see whether they are on any watch list.

There's a catch-22 there as evidenced from the John Muhammad release after he was forging documents and smuggling illegal aliens:

• The INS says: This person has no previous record of violence, so we are going to release him and not prosecute.
