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. "

Estimates of the number of aliens living illegally in this country vary from 7 million to 11 million. The INS estimates 7-8 million.

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?

"....but it's not practical or reasonable to think that you're going to be able to round them all up and send them home,"

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!

[agitator]

Ya gotta love that "Can Do!" government attitude!

[Ronin]

If this jacka$$ thinks its unreasonable to enforce the law, I suggest he be removed from Government and given a job working for the ACLU!

WHAT IN THE NAME OF NED ARE WE PAYING THESE PEOPLE FOR???

For Washington's elites - including Jorge Bush, evidently - it's only "reasonable" to actually force people in the U.S. to obey the law if they are native-born Americans with tax liens or have endangered species found on their ranches!

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.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S Representative Tom Tancredo (R-CO), chairman of the Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus, officially called today for the immediate dismissal of the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) Commissioner James Ziglar.

"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."

ZIGLAR: "I AM A LIBERTARIAN"

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.

WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

What a great opportunity. The rest of the government is contracting out its various functions. Why not contract out the roundup and deportation of illegals. Vehicle search and interdiction could be contracted as well. I think it would be a real growth industry.

Ziglar, FBI, CIA and 9-11- "Nothing could have been done. Nothing is being done. Nothing will be done."

[usurper]

An INS spokesman said that Ziglar merely repeated what other INS commissioners, including Clinton Commissioner Doris Meissner, have said in recent years.

Yes, Doris the former commissioner left the INS and returned to the Carnegie Endowment for Peace. Her Deputy departed and is now leading the United Nations High Commission for refugees.

Anyone see a pattern here? Even if Ziglar wanted to deport all these illegal aliens (which he doesn't) the administration and congress would not let him do it. Call it collusion or triangulation, the system is working exactly as it was designed. Our immigration system is no accident, it is carefully crafted to give only the appearance of enforcement. Now that everyone can see it as a farce, they want to just do away with the concept of enforcement altogether.

Check and mate. Start taking pictures so your grandkids can see a once great nation.

Barragan said at the press conference, "The mobility of people has been a reality throughout human history. Only by recognizing that reality, through agreements, through laws, can we avoid what is happening."

Ziglar said that he wanted to make policing the border more efficient to free up resources to focus on the most serious threats to the United States.

"We need to set up a regime where we don't have to spend so much of our time and effort in enforcement activities dealing with people who are not terrorists, who are not threats to our national security, who are economic refugees," he said.

Bull Sh!T!!!!

All they are saying is that property owners can be displaced by immigration and the government subsidising through welfare this immigration. Human rights engineering is now displacing the property owner as a benefactor to the economy and welfare of the nation.

Mark my word, this is communist bull and it is unacceptable.

Ziglar also announced the use of pepperball launchers by Border Patrol agents. The weapons are supposed to disable violent migrants without hurting them, he said.

That's about as effective as spraying insect repellent onto a fire ant mound.

[Dante3]

Should sign a petition asking for resignation of INS chief.

[goldstategop]

James Ziglar thinks the INS is redundant. I agree: ITS TIME FOR HIM TO GO!!!

"No one likes the idea that people came into the country illegally, but it's not practical or reasonable to think that you're going to be able to round them all up and send them home," Ziglar said at a May 23 press conference...

What Ziglar should have said is "No one likes the idea that people came into the country illegally, but it's not practical or reasonable to expect me to get off my lazy butt and do something about rounding them all up and sending them home."

[PatrioticAmerican]

The Bush Administration (not) at work.

Translation: "Screw you and your laws. WE are the government, and WE don't care about your stupid nation. It's about the menoy and our power. So f***-off!"
