Your link lists numbers of people by nationality dealt with by INS, a government agency, not a self-appointed bunch of anti-Mexican hobbyists (complete with a level of misspellings suggesting that the table was compiled not by INS or even by the Center for Immigration Studies (a persistent offender with a cultivated half-way respectable public iumage pasted over the same old hysteria) but by the usual xenophic hobbyists. Do you have a table of numbers of immigration applications by nationality ignored and stored in Kansas by INS?

xenophic = xenophobic

Sorry for the misspellings. Most have been corrected, and I'll work on the others.

No the list was not complied by the INS, it was compiled by me.

The INS would never release these number to the public, as they do not want the public to know who is crossing the borders.

The numbers are official INS apprehensions numbers from their database.

You are definitely a piece of work BlackElk. You have a very weird fixation on Skinheads, Aryan types, Klansmen and the rest of that ilk. Guess what? There ain't none of them here. The only time a couple of them showed up, they were given detailed instructions on how to find their way back to I-10 in the quickest fashion. We do not tolerate them here.

I openly identified myself as a member of American Border Patrol. At age 47, I am one of the younger members. A lot of our active patroling members are legally senior citizens. A lot of them are women -- and they still put themselves willingly in harm's way.

What does it take to convince you that we do NOT care what nationality crosses our border illegally? If the Pope tried to cross through here illegally, I'd turn his fanny in and I am Catholic.

You're sitting just a few miles southeast of Lake Wobegone country and you think you know what it's like here on the border? Give me an effin' break.

My (Mexican-)American co-workers are cheering me on because this affects them as well. How would you feel if you had Mexican ancestry but were afraid to let your mother drive alone from Sierra Vista to Douglas for fear that she could be car-jacked? How would you feel if your mother lived out of town and had suddenly developed a .44 Magnum fetish?

That's it, jerk. Put up or shut up. Back up your statements with some facts not just our constant stream of bullsh**.

The ABP and CDP don't look for Mexicans, single out Mexicans, or even care if the border intruders are Mexican or not. An illegal is an illegal whether from Mexico, Guatemala, Afghanistan, or Yemen. They will treat them all equally - report them to the U.S. Border Patrol. If you have evidence otherwise, provide it or shut the hell up.

By the way, are those in Mexico who sternly and ruthlessly enforce and support their border laws - throwing Guatemalans and others in jail for illegally crossing their southern border - are they racist too in your twisted mind?

The table was compiled and posted by FReeper Marine Inspector who happens to be have a career in INS law enforcement. I sincerely doubt that he appreciates being referred to as a "xenophobic hobbyist" any more than you would appreciate being referred to as a "crack smoking spin artist".
