Illegal Aliens have nothing to fear (my title)

Posted on 06/03/2002 7:06:15 AM PDT by Freedom4US

Somehow, I don't think the I.R.S. takes this view when it comes to back taxes, for example. In point of fact, they are quite thorough and go to great lengths to ensure compliance going back several years. While not wishing to debate the merits of an uncontrolled influx of illegals, their 'argument' is specious.

In a little-noticed statement, Immigration and Naturalization Service Commissioner James Ziglar has said that most of the millions of illegal aliens living in this country do not have to worry about the U.S. government enforcing the law and deporting them.

"No one likes the idea that people came into the country illegally, but it's not practical or reasonable to think that you're going to be able to round them all up and send them home," Ziglar said at a May 23 press conference that he held with Javier Moctezuma Barragan, the Mexican undersecretary of population and migrant services, and Felipe de Jesus Preciado Coronado, commissioner of Mexico's migration institute. The press conference was held at the Tucson, Ariz., Border Patrol office.

Estimates of the number of aliens living illegally in this country vary from 7 million to 11 million. The INS estimates 7-8 million.

An INS spokesman said that Ziglar merely repeated what other INS commissioners, including Clinton Commissioner Doris Meissner, have said in recent years.

Illegal doesnt mean what it used to, think back before 9/11 Bushy-Boy was proposing to allow all illegals to pay a fee to stay here, (wasnt that a stroke of stupidity) now its impractical to round up all these people, why are we paying taxes why dont they have a problem busting people for pot thats illegal, driving around drunk is illegal , but being an illegal alien must not be a crime that they disapprove of? Smoking cigaretts is a bigger damn crime!

Here is a better one,

After 9/11, Bushy-Boy has pushed for this 3 more times. It's called 245(i) and it's being pushed again as we speak.
