"fingerprint and immigration database check"

WAIT?

I thought our borders were wide open?

People make up your freeking mind on this issue will you.

Either we have open borders or we don't. What's the truth ?

The truth is that we go through some of the motions and occasionally toss out a few token illegals, but in most cases, even when they're caught there are no serious consequences and they end up right back on American streets like this guy and like John Lee Malvo. Our laws are not taken seriously and least of all by those who are supposed to enforce them. Then they act surprised when known terrorists or potential terrorists are known to have slipped across our borders.

What would ever make you think that?

Right you are, they're tight as a drum

A routine fingerprint and immigration database check showed that he had been apprehended in Brownsville, Texas, two years ago, and at that time was ordered to leave the country. He should have been immediately detained for fraudulent entry and kicked out.

It's all part of the plan:

Rather than deport Illegals, we let them have access to the White House for two years and then catch them by accident in Browsville. Absolutely foolproof.

Ask the over 20 million illegals in this country. We know there are about 20 million just from Mexico, probably quite a few millions of others ---I doubt any of them found the borders very closed.

Hoo boy, you're a bright one aren't you? I guess you missed this part of the article?

"...But Martinez-Gonzalez was neither detained nor removed from the U.S., as required by federal law."

"Either we have open borders or we don't. What's the truth?"

That depends on how simple minded one is and where one lives.

Even the word "truth" means something different inside the beltway, in Chicago, San Diego, Loredo, Miami or Seattle.

The fact he wasn't detained THE FIRST TIME two years ago is proof the borders are porous at best. Away from the checkpoints they ARE wide open. Another little fact I'm sure you knew.
