How about ending the practice of releasing ANY immigrants awaiting deportation hearings after they've been arrested for illegally entering the country?

[1Old Pro]

But Loy also said there's no conclusive evidence that al-Qaida operatives have entered the country illegally through those methods.

It's not a question of "if". It's a question of how many have entered and when.

Southern Sieve Ping!

Please let me know if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico list.

Officials have said that detaining the immigrants would be costly. <<

I believe it could be more costly if they don't. I am SICK & TIRED of Elected Officials shirking their duty to protect this country!

[joedelta]

I love it!

Explore? Hell, right now he can wade across like the thousands who do so on a daily basis. Can we please close the borders Mr. President?

[T.L.Sink]

Who could possibly be surprised that some terrorists
might stroll across our out-of-control borders? I (and
others) have been posting for a long time that Bush and
Congress will have been CRIMINALLY NEGLIGENT if these
amnestied hordes coming into the U.S. include terrorists
that kill thousands of Americans. The illegal immigration problems
we are now facing -- bankrupt school districts, insolvent
hospitals, prison incarceration costs, welfare and
social service financial burdens -- all will be as nothing
after the terrorists strike!

BTTT!!!

The window of opportunity to close the border is nearly over. Anyone notice the Mexican gobernatorial elections lately? The PRD (?) - made up of extreme leftists - is starting to win elections over the old (anti-American)PRI and the (kind of pro-American) PAN. The next presidential election (I think 2006) could see a PRD president who would basically be in bed with Chavez and Castro. At that point, facilitating illegal crossings will become part of official Mexican government policy and the danger will be much higher.

What border is there to probe!?

[tx_eggman]

information from ongoing investigations, detentions and emerging threat streams strongly suggests that al-Qaida has considered using the southwestern border to infiltrate the United States.

HAS CONSIDERED? What color is the atmosphere on the planet these idiots inhabit?

[R. Scott]

Fortunately Al Qaida is restricted to communicating by secure messenger now. They know we’re listening in to cell phones and internet commo.
Thank you, National Security Agency.

[Texas_Jarhead]

They are just trying to come here to do the suicide bombings that Americans won't do.

[txdoda]

More on this & sad to say I never saw this story reported even in the Dallas news.

Not only 'catch & release'......FREE TAXI SERVICE !!

"Border Patrol Releases Immigrants at Bus Station"

[bayourod]

"The majority of the non-Mexican immigrants released are from Latin American countries. "

Just a politician playing one group against another. The justification used to be "It's for the children", now it's "It's for for security"

[Kevin OMalley]

That was inevitable. 'Bout time someone started to look into it.
