You might have a point if the INS were actually attempting to do the job they were created to do, but they are not even making the attempt, for political reasons. Let's untie their hands before we write them off altogether. Your argument seems to be that because some government agencies are badly run, ergo they all must be badly run, so let's get rid of them all and have anarchy instead! Fine; we'll just funnel all the illegals to your property. You feed and clothe them, since "our" government is "obviously" incompetent "by its very nature" to enforce our laws or defend our borders, even though it had no problem doing this, in an efficient manner, 50 years ago. Now, did the nature of government change in the past 50 years, to make the INS incompetent, or was it the government's hidden agenda (re: immigration) which changed?

"Let's untie their hands before we write them off altogether."

Your position is reasonable, but a tad naive.

"Your argument seems to be that because some government agencies are badly run, ergo they all must be badly run, so let's get rid of them all and have anarchy instead!"

You seem to be replying to someone else, rather than to what I actually said. However, it is true that they are ALL badly run. That's because the elites in our society have gone berserk across the board, not just in the INS.

"Now, did the nature of government change in the past 50 years, to make the INS incompetent, or was it the government's hidden agenda (re: immigration) which changed?"

Yes, both are true. Even more dramatically, federal "law enforcement" agencies used to be our friends, but now they treat us, the citizens, as if we were a military enemy. Did the nature of government change, or was it some hidden agenda? You tell me.
