Compassionate Conservatism
Meets Illegal Aliens
"We must do a better job of stopping those who seek to come into our country illegally.
I support strict border enforcement programs such as Operation Hold the Line,
which concentrate border patrol officers and resources at known border-crossing points.
I believe it is far more compassionate to turn away people at the border
than to attempt to find and arrest them once they are living in our country illegally. "

What do you think the odds are that the INS underestimates how badly they do their job?
Or to put it another way, if they stink at their day jobs, how good can the INS be at estimates?
You have evidence of deportations from the American Interior?
Baloney! Add up the hidden costs in education, food stamps, welfare assistance, hospitalization and it would be much cheaper to hire AMERICANS to get the job done!
No I sure don't - I read the second highlighted line too fast and missed the point. I guess I saw the word "compassionate" in the first line and assumed that I was being sold cloaked liberalism once again (which causes short term blindness due to blood pressure spike). My mistake.
What if we just scared them really bad?
Just tell them the media might be mean to them.
Yea, that's right - I forgot. Man, I'm gonna make a fortune distributing pinatas shaped like elephants to all these new Repubs. (note to self- stop putting business plan on FR!)
WHAT IN THE NAME OF NED ARE WE PAYING THESE PEOPLE FOR???
No profiling of aliens from Moslem nations wanting to fly - just feel up every native-born grandma instead. No denial of visas to further visitors from the Moslem world - even as our "allies" there like the Saudis openly finance terrorists from those who did 9/11 in Manhattan to paying families of "martyrs" in Israel.
Send Jorge Bush a message - dump Jeb. Florida Freepers, help elect Jackboot Janet in a landslide.
IMMIGRATION resource library: public-health facts, court decisions, local INS numbers!
"In light of the complete inability of the INS to carry out its responsibilities to the American public, I believe it is appropriate for the INS commissioner to be removed," said Tancredo. "It would not only be a symbolic act, but a substantive one because it would be the first step in a much needed major overhaul of the INS."
Speaking to students at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., INS Commissioner James Ziglar discussed his experiences after a half-year on the job.
Ziglar said that he opposed Congressional reorganization plans, and also opposed an effort by Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge to create a comprehensive Border Security Agency that would comprise the INS, Customs, and other agencies. Ziglar also said he and President Bush support "regularization" [meaning a from of amnesty] and an extension of Section 245(i) (which allows illegal aliens to become legal residents after paying a $1,000 fee).
Regarding his personal opinions, Ziglar told the audience he was a libertarian, and struggled with the conflict between his beliefs and the INS mission.

LOL!! I bet you can't walk into your bosses office and tell him that it's not reasonable for you to do your job. You would get fired in a heartbeat.
Why do you think Bush put an open border Libertarian in that position in the first place? Unfortunately Ziglar is untouchable.
Speaking of shooting, I don't see our marxist congress, our mextex president shooting their mouths off over mexicans with guns crossing our borders - taking shots at our Border Patrol personnel!!!!!!!
Why not??????????
I'm hearing radio spots attempting to recruit personnel for the Border Patrol. What American would give a rats as about enlisting as a moving target for anyone who crosses our border intending to shoot at Americans. By their actions mexican military have labeled themselves our enemy.
This whole scenario SUCKS; from the White House, to Congress, to the INS.
Anti-American, pro-NAFTA, pro-NWO bastards! One and all.
