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.

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!

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?

Bush Administration Motto:

The Rule of Law:
We Pretend Louder

Glad Ashcroft is on board!

[Cboldt]

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.

The very first thing they need to do is a data search of every INS and Outsource computer for names that are on the skip list as well as the suspect terrorist list. Those names should be instantly pulled.

This needs to be done before even one more document is mailed out.

Investigate?????? That ought to be worth a laugh or two...
