Well LA DE FRIGGIN DA! Some of our GOP public servants are becoming aware that things don't work too well in the Federal gubmint. Welcome to everyday life for us peons boys! The beurocracy you sit atop is a collection of lard asses who couldn't do an honest days work if their life depended on it. The workers have one speed. Slow. The managers are the biggest weasels. That's how they moved up in pay grade. The dept. heads are corrupt. If you think the INS is a special case you're a fool. This is business as usual for the fed. I dare you to do something about it.

Oh yeah,The new posting form sucks. It is ridiculous, cheap, stupid, beneath any standard of normal forum standards, cumbersome, frustrating and awful.In my MHO.

An inquiry for what? To find out that the government is incompetant. That the people that work for the govt. don't give a damn. That they do what they do because they can and get away with it. If they found that these were sent on purpose as a joke nothing would happen. They work for the govt.

God damned civil service flunkies.

An investigation? HARUMPH!!

I want to see heads roll!

An inquiry is a foregone conclusion. The real issue of mass Immigration is not being addressed. A moratorium is required and now. Along with deportation will solve this national crisis. What will it take to realize our Immigration policies have been disastrous!

Fat chance. Our president is a politician and if there's anyting that a good pol does not do it is to f___ with the beurocracy. They know where the real power lies.

****What will it take to realize our Immigration policies have been disastrous!****

I have done some in depth calculations regarding this question and to my best equating I figure about 47k dead americans. This sum is co-equivalent however with the number of 9/11 or greater type events that occur in the near future. If that many of us die in one event the final equation is equivocal. If three events are required I'm pretty sure actual immigration reform (more like revolution) will definitely occur. If only one major event is the scenario I belive the number of deaths will have to me over 60k.

A caveat: The only really questionable variable in all this is whether the American people will wait around for government action. Snipers in the streets and mosque burnings may occur first.

I don't believe it to be a variable but a given certainty that they WILL NOT!

Most likely, the person responsible will be promoted.

Take a look at my new profile page for some scary information.

I would hope this would serve as a wake-up call to Bush; after 8 years of Clinton every single government agency needs a major shakedown. Were I Bush I would fire or force into retirement every Clinton appointee and every government employee promoted to senior grade within the last four years. To be honest, I am not one bit surprised nor shocked by this INS blunder... I know quite a few INS officers and they are embarrassed and ashamed - and they're all of the opinion that this blunder is a direct result of Clinton's presidency as well as Gore's "re-inventing" government.

After yesterdays House vote on HR 1885 " The Blanket Amnesty for ALL Illegal Aleins currently in the US", I feel safer already, don't you?. What a bunch of sell out whores. We, in every state needs to march on our Capitols to get this Amnest bill stopped because phone calls and letter writing does zip. Yesterday's vote proved that. Any other suggestions?

[dittomom]

Chilling stuff over there on your profile page, MI.

[Joe Hadenuf]

This is a joke, Bush and the fedgov could care less.

Sadam Hussein could put on a New York Yankees cap, and drive straight into our country from the southern border, along with the millions of other criminal illegal aliens.

We have been betrayed.

We wont get fooled again!

Bush Administration Motto:

The Rule of Law:
We Pretend Louder

Glad Ashcroft is on board!

The president ordered Ashcroft, whose department includes the immigration service, and homeland security director Tom Ridge to "get to the bottom of this immediately," McClellan said.

. . . Still, Bush maintains confidence in the Immigration and Naturalization Service's commissioner, Fleischer said.

If Bush maintains confidence in the INS commissioner, why did he order Ashcroft and Ridge to get to the bottom of it? Further, it is a sign of bad management to ask two separate people to be responsible for the same job.

No, I don't feel better, safer, etc. I want less government, not more.

You know I'm starting to harken back to the days of cesession talk during the algore attempted election theft. This country is out of control. Bush can't fix it . Hell Bush don't even know it's broke. Personally I think Texas is just about big enough for a country. It would be a better world really if one could choose what 'country' within the former US one wished to live. The nut case libs would all be in New England and the left coast and they would be free to tax themselves penniless. We right thinking people would have a much better life without them.

It's only a matter of time before osama and friends strike again. We can not stop them. I heartily recommend that all freepers sell their homes in densely populated cities and move out a ways. Your chances of survival will go up dramatically.

Why?
