Also, why does the border patrol need to travel 2,000 miles to arrest ten people?
They could capture and deport trainloads of people every day at the southern border.
If you are here legally, then act like an American and confront the JBT. Get right in his face. Papers please, my ass.
That's what "I" was wondering!
We all know that the hi-jacker spent the night in Portland the night before 9-11! I am very suspicious.
WHO did he see and WHO did he talk to?
Governor Baldacci and Rep. Tom Allen brought these Somali's into the state of Maine...........very interesting, to say the least!
I think that they do. Unfortunately, another trainload gets through.
While I respect what the Border Patrol is doing (probably not honestly explained in this article), the solution is employer sanctions with teeth. Even the Bush plan, with teeth, would be big improvement. Employers must advertise every job currently held by an illegal to see if a citizen wants it. If the employer fails to do so, or if the employer fails to hire the citizen -- let's say, an ex-con citizen trying to go straight -- the alien gets the boot, the ex-con gets the job, and the employer gets the ex-con's old cell. Do this in in a just a few dozen well-publicized cases, and they'll be going home by the train-load voluntarily, leaving the Border Control to go after the remnant.
I agree with you but it looks like the Homeland Security folks have different plans. From the article:
..."federal agents - many recently transferred here as part of a south-to-north shift in homeland security forces..."
They must have given up on the southern border. Perhaps the agents were being too effective at impeding the flow of illegal aliens from our neighbor to the south.
