The INS is a dismal failure, fraught with incompetent people, and nobody wants to keep up with immigrants who come into the USA. I am amazed that when there is an outbreak of Mad Cow Disease, the Dept. of Agriculture can track a cow's history back for years, all the way back to Timbuktu. Even a librarian is charged with keeping an inventory of all the books in a library, but we have no system of enforcing and monitoring immigration, which has proven to be the downfall of major crises here in our country.

The INS no longer exists. It is now called CBP, or Customs and Border Protection. The Immigration and Naturalization Services, or INS, was part of the Department of Justice, and in the 1970's and 1980's were described in law enforcement circles as "Jack-Buddha thugs". Lots of raids, lots of cleaning house. Then, perhaps in response to the politically correct movement of the 1990's, they toned things down a bit, some would argue too much, others not enough. In 2004, the INS changed to the CBP when they were absorbed by the newly created Department of Homeland Security (also responsible for FEMA, to give you part of the bigger picture). New agency, new director, a gal named Katrina, total chaos. In 2006 a Border Patrol agent in Arizona was quoted as saying "We don't need new laws. We need to enforce the laws we already have, that would be the first place to start. With the 'catch and release' policy, it feels like we're fighting immigration with both hands tied behind our backs." To be sure, the system is fraught with incompetent people. But, like most careers, be they blue collar, white collar, law enforcement, whatever - across the board you find the most debilitating incompetency at the managerial level. The higher-ups. Not the agency as a whole. The actual border patrol agents on the ground risk their lives every night to catch the "coyotes" and their cargo (i.e. humans). Alone on patrol in the mountains of the southern Arizona desert, if you were incompetent you'd be dead, either from the heat or the coyotes (i.e. humans). The agents aren't incompetent. And neither is the INS. It doesn't exist anymore, which was my original point.
CBP is totally demoralized. The Chief got a 100 percent no confidence vote from his officers. He send a personal representative down to see a show of hands from his supervisors (its against labor regulations) to intimidate them. Officers such as Compean and Ramos are being railroaded by federal attorneys working in alliance with Mexican Government officials.

The service is recruiting 6,000 agents to add to the existing 12,000. But, in this atmosphere I couldn't recommend taking the position.

It was their CHOICE to come here, and it can be their CHOICE to go back... I think each and every one of them should do the right thing and CHOOSE to go back to where they belong!!!

That way we aren't out about 30 grand a year on each one of them...

HEY ILLEGALs CHOOSE TO GO BACK HOME!!! THEN maybe you can figure out HOW to become LEGAL.
