Immigration agency vows more enforcement
August 22nd, 2008 . by TexasFredSANTA ANA, Calif. - Federal immigration officials vowed Friday to intensify efforts to track down illegal immigrants after scrapping a trial “self-deportation” program that attracted only eight volunteers.
Though the 2 1/2-week effort produced few volunteer deportees among illegal immigrants who are under court orders to leave the country, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said his agency will arrest more of them this year than last — and still more next year as more agents are assigned.
“We are going to continue our enforcement of immigration law whether it is convenient for people, or whether it’s not convenient,” Jim Hayes, ICE’s acting director of detention and removal operations, told reporters.
“Congress has mandated that we enforce these laws and that is what we intend to do,” he said.
Immigrant advocates accused ICE of using the failure of the “Scheduled Departure” program to justify raids that have caused many illegal immigrants to live in fear of a pre-dawn knock on the door. They ridiculed the self-deportation program, saying it gave people no incentive to surrender.

Immigration agency vows more enforcement
Anyone that even remotely expected voluntary self-deportation to work must have been drinking the bong water. This kind of makes me think of those weapons for food programs a few cities have tried. They offer free food and whatnot and the Boyz in Da’ Hood are supposed to bring in their Mac-10’s and AK’s in return for some gratuitous handouts.
What happens is, Da’ Boyz send the Baby Mama with some POS worn out .22 revolver that hasn’t worked since Huey P. Long was Governor of Louisiana, the Baby Mama gets the food or whatever, Da’ Boyz keep their serious weapons and the PC minded idiots get to hold up a box full of junk and claim some kind of moral victory.
It’s just like that bunch of ILLEGALS in
Pasadena that are all up in the air because the Pasadena P.D. is actually enforcing the law, vehicular codes to be exact. They seem to think that they can break the law, 1st by being here as ILLEGALS, and then seem to think they are due some kind of immunity while driving their broken down and uninsured POS Tijuana Taxis.Here’s what I think needs to be done in regards to deportation of the ILLEGALS that are an infestation on this nation. Round em up and march em to the border, send em across the border, back to their homeland, man the border with troops, law enforcement personnel, Border Patrol,whatever, and shoot any of em that try to come back into this nation at anything OTHER than a LEGAL U.S. border crossing.
We don’t need any more laws in America, we don’t need any more rules and/or regulations, we have more than enough laws and programs on the books, what we need is a government that has the BALLS to fully enforce the laws we already have.
So, tell me, why are some people so surprised when the laws of this land are enforced and when ridiculous programs such as this voluntary self-deportation thing fail miserably? If the arrest and deportation of ILLEGALS bothers the ILLEGALS, all they have to do is get LEGAL, or leave, one way or another.
I personally will welcome LEGAL immigrants with open arms. I have absolutely NO problems with lawbreakers suffering whatever fate awaits them.

It is my understanding that this program cost the taxpayers several million dollars to implement and they only got like a handful of people who turned themselves in??

“what we need is a government that has the BALLS to fully enforce the laws we already have.”
We know one thing for sure and that’s for the next 4 years, again, we won’t have a government with balls.
Ball-less, tooth-less, dick-less, and any other -less possible!
Yawn! I’ve heard this before and its always been a tempest in a teapot. Deport a dozen here and a hundred there, while several thousand new illegals enter the US each day. Get back to me when we issue shoot on sight orders at the border and deport thousands a day.
A couple of these patrolling the borders will take care of any illegal aliens crossing into the US.
