PHOENIX, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- Immigration officials across the United States are aggressively tracking down illegal immigrants who have disobeyed orders to leave the country.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deployed 80 agents assigned to "fugitive operations teams" in 16 cities to find 400,000 fugitive immigrants in the United States, 80,000 of whom were ordered to leave the country after criminal convictions, the Arizona Republic reported.
The $50 million program is part of a Bush administration initiative launched in 2003 and will be expanded by another 30 teams in all 23 field offices, including two teams each in Los Angeles and New York.

400,000 illegals divided by 80 agents means each agent only has to look for 5000 illegals. Hmmm, I'm not too excited yet :)

Well they can start on Westpark St between 59 and 610. That should make a dent. Houston TX that is.

Contract the job out to bounty hunters. Pay for each criminal booted out of the country.

This is good news, yet on another thread I read that "super NAFTA", supported by the Bush administration, will eliminate borders. What's to stop every criminal in the world from coming to America if we don't have protected borders? There seems to be some confusion in the White House...

Good. Better late than never, and better some than none.

While I applaud it, wouldn't it have been better to keep them out to begin with? No! Of course not... LOL

Encouraging news. However, if any agency needs money, give it to the INS and not to congressional pay raises.

If they'd do the favor of putting their pictures thru "Americas Most Wanted", we could all help out this cause. . .

They were supposed to put those 400K scofflaws into the FBI's national NCIC database in
2001.
For those unfamiliar with it, NCIC (National Crime Information Center) is the database that's used when a LEO (for example) pulls someone over for a traffic violation. It's distributed, meaning that queries first go to the state NCIC database, and then to the national DB.
In any case Ashcroft and Zeigler announced that the scofflaws would be added to NCIC DB in December 2001, and not a word since. It would have been the first step toward allowing local law enforcement to at least participate in rounding-up the scofflaws, who've exhausted all DOJ appeals and have been ordered deported (usually criminals).

Perhaps I'm missing something, but first Bush needs to stop rewarding these lawbreakers that come into our country illegally by giving them citizenship or even work vices. What he's doing here, in my humble opinion, is just making more of them what to cross the boarder in record numbers to get these little prizes Bush is offering them.
Secondly, close off the damn border, put our troops that are in Germany and South Korea along the Rio Grande. Seal off the boarder, yes, seal it off! Put an electrified fence from the Coast of Texas, to the coast of California. I could be wrong, but it seems to me much easier to guard the two ends of a long electrified fence, rather then a completely unsecured boarder. Of course, you still keep troops scattered throughout the length of the fence to keep an eye and ear out for tunnel diggers and such.
Lastly, any boarder agent who says they can't stop the flow of illegals, that they can't deport the ones already here, fire him/her and hire someone who believes they can do the job they are being payed to do!

Today I received a letter from Jim Gerlach, R, Rep of PA who is proud to say that the House is supporting a plan that
"Standardizes entry requirements for all individuals coming into the U.S., asking anyone coming from a country other than Mexico and Canada to provide a secure document."
This assumes that terrorists do not know how to take a plane to Mexico City and then drive north.
