At what alititude are they released?

[operation clinton cleanup]

This might be more effective return method.

Wouldn’t a catapult be easier, cheaper and quicker?

[Paleo Conservative]

Why parachutes?

I wonder how many of them are just going home for a “vacation” and plan to return? I bet there’s a few of them. They’ll be back in the country in a month or two.

a Border Patrol union spokesman contend that the $15 million program is a waste of taxpayers' money

I agree. Nobody ever gave me a free flight.

This is the way I'd do it:

[19th LA Inf]

The crops are all in and the peaches are rotting
The oranges are piled in their cresote dumps
They're flying you back to the Mexico border
To pay all your money to wade back again

CHORUS
Good-bye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus y Maria
You won't have a name when you ride the big air-plane
And all they will call you will be deportees.

. . . . Woody Guthrie, ca. 1947

I bet they get better in-flight service than we do. And they don’t have to go through security.

Removing the migrants by air from the Arizona border area is intended to discourage them from making another attempt to cross illegally into Arizona from northern Mexico, Ramos said.

The migrants, who volunteer to be "repatriated" to Mexico are interviewed by Mexican consular officials. They are processed by the U.S. Border Patrol in Nogales and Yuma, then turned over to the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, said Chuy Rodriguez, a spokesman for the Border Patrol in Tucson.

Tour buses hired to transport the migrants bring them to a cargo area at the Tucson airport, where they board a jet for Mexico.

In 2006, about 15,000 Mexicans were flown back to Mexico in the Interior Repatriation Program, Ramos said. The program is in its fourth year.

Millions in, 15,000 out. YES, we are making headway./s

Hey, it’s a start. I don’t believe it’s a waste of money.

It’s a waste of money to even pay some of our Congresscritters and Pelosi while she is writing a book on our time.

Only if one believes that when the dam is about to break, plugging small holes will help.

Fixing the dam is better than plugging holes any day.

Build the fence, enforce the laws that are on the books … fixing the dam in my opinion.

[janetgreen]

I was thinking more of an ocean route - illegals make good shark food.

[doc1019]

There is that.
