#1 Round up the usual suspects...

#2 The memo ..... said the enforcement of immigration laws away from the border was now the responsibility of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

snicker...wonder if Veal was unhappy with the new organizational chart and issued the original memo in a childish act of protest. Regardless, his bending to PC pressure landed him up in the frying pan. Chicken?? or Veal??

#3 The "matricula" is wastepaper as far as valid ID goes. The cops oughta tear the damn things up when handed one. It's almost a guarantee of an illegal.

#4 hmm...too bad they aren't really valid ID's in the first place. If they were, they'd be mighty handy in tracking illegals if we ever got serious about doing so. Of course, if I were betting futures on that...I'd only bet 25% (that we will get serious) ..unless we have another major terrorist attack..or if Arrrrnold wins and decides to upset the status quo with some common sense.

#5 Not knowing whether you are going to be picked up and deported must be very stressful for illegal immagrants. If we clarify to all illegals, the exact conditions under which they can be seized, there will be fewer illegals succumbing to stress related health care issues. If we eliminate the uncertainty for these people, uncovered healthcare costs should drop in states bordering Mexico. We all win that way.

At the very least Immigration Enforcement Officers should have a bag limit, so large groups of illegals can be sure that by congregating together they stand less of a chance of being deported. That way the criminal element of the illegals will generally only prey on other illegals. Because illegals will probably be too wary to report the assualts ect. Crime statistics will drop and there will be fewer folks in jail.
Do you think the ACLU will see it my way?

#6 At the very least Immigration Enforcement Officers should have a bag limit.
I'm all for it! Each Immigration Enforcement Officer should have a daily minimum bag limit of at least two, and a maximum possession limit of no more than 2000, Illegal Immigrants, regardless of country. Any illegal caught with a matricula consular counts twice toward possession limits. All that are caught should be fingerprinted, have mugshots taken, record all vital information, and taken back to the capital of their home country, and released. Anyone caught the second time will be required to police the border area, picking up any loose paper, plastic bottles, clothing, and other assorted trash for 90 days before being released in their national capital - along with all the garbage they've picked up. Get picked up a third time, and lose your kneecaps.

How long do you think it will take before we a) have a clean border, and b) have fewer illegals?
