Another joke from the ridiculously politicized and shortsighted INS.

How about those who want to "change to student visa status" return to their home countries and apply for a student visa? Then put them through a local, home-country criminal background check, as is done with immigrant visas.

The problem isn't merely that INS uses a paper-based system and scanners, it's that the INS has been perverted in its mission by the whimsies of Congress, greedy school administrators, and employer lobbyists. There is no evidence that this has changed.

The chickens are coming home to roost as the decades-long malfeasance at INS is now bumping up against the security and safety of the American public.

INS has become the country's most dangerous security threat.

INS will continue to detain and remove from the U.S., criminal aliens subject to the mandatory detention requirements of the 1996 immigration law.

Typical Toon fantasy that saying something makes it complete. No doubt they did get deportation orders on some. They just never had any follow-up to actually remove them from the country.

Very well put! The feds never cease to amaze me with their incompetence. Protecting our borders is one of the primary jobs tasked to the federales and they simply don't do it. The don't even begin to know who is in this country illegally and in what numbers. But they sure-as-hell know if your income tax is off by .50cts. And, God forbid, if your shotgun is 1/4" too short they'll kill your wife and son over some unconstitutional BS gun law. The federal govt makes me want to puke!

I don't know exact dates, but they COMPLETED flight school in Florida in January 2001.

That means those women hating freaks were enrolled in the flight school on kung pao willy's watch. Figures.

Off subject here Jade but I read something about Arthur Anderson being involved in the bankruptcy of First National Bank of Chicago in the early 70's. No details tho, got anything on it?

The hijackers were tight with Mr. Dekker, whom Atta knew from Hamburg.

? First time I remember reading that. Can you document it? Dekker is Dutch, but I haven't heard of his ever being in Hamburg.
