I'm not even going to bother excerpting this article, it's so hilarious. They're worried about who is leaving because if they're heading back to Mexico then the Democrats are losing voters. Notice they're doing nothing to track those coming in, they want that, oh man, this is RICH !!!!

[McGruff]

What’s he going to send them a UPS or Fed Ex package and track it or something crazy like that? :)

[Kimberly GG]

Ok, I can’t bear to read this. Same stupid logic as tracking the guns going south. ANYTHING BUT effectively securing the borders. And that goes for BOTH parties.

[TribalPrincess2U]

What will they do meet them at the border and give them offers they can’t refuse?

[JoanneSD]

This is so crazy.. one can just walk into Mexico, at least from San Diego area, thru San Ysidro, and otay mesa,or Tecate border crossings, or go back by car load, or truck load, how is she going to count all those people, and determine if they were in the country illegally and just decided to go back into Mexico..

Oh no! The Base is escaping!

[TribalPrincess2U]

She’s an idiot. They’re all idiots.

[Bob Buchholz]

Its just so that we can make sure that they get their absentee ballots.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Who is she paying to do the tracking?

Even if this worked, they would not use the information to deport those who overstay visas. See my tagline.

I think this is supposed to be used to catch people who overstay their visas, a long overdue and a good thing if it’s used properly. Saying this is being used to track “immigrants” is misleading, just as it is to call illegal aliens immigrants.

[spokeshave]

Yah...issue them all with a driving licence, SS card and a dim vote registration

[JohnBrowdie]

no, the obamites are going to call them “deportations”, and then campaign on how tough they are on illegal immigration.

watch. they do this sort of thing a lot.

[tbw2]

The system is supposed to create a database of all immigrants and visa holders, track new entries and existing immigrants departures and report to police when someone overstays their visa.
The inanity of the U.S. government is that Raytheon, a major defense contractor here, was helping the UK develop this system in 2009 and 2010.
And they’re in charge of the Saudi Border Security program, essentially containing the craziness in Yemen from spreading to Saudi.
So a major defense contractor has the system to track comings and goings of immigrants AND secure the border, and we aren’t doing either.
