Immigration Enforcement: Is it Rocket Science?
George Weissinger

Now that we have bought into the notion that only the worst members of the illegal alien population are worthy of attention we can all relax and watch the evening news. We are safe at last because DHS intends to begin removal of the criminal aliens locked up in our prisons. Oh, but wait a minute here. The American Immigration Lawyers Association pines that we are asking for trouble if local law enforcement is not trained. Not to worry, oh noble defenders of all that is right and wrong! With the likes of Gavin Newsom and his associates, all the liberal mayors will be creating sanctuary cities so the enforcement of the immigration laws comes to a final end. It doesn’t matter anyway, since DHS failed to pick up the ball on interior enforcement of the immigration laws since its inception. DHS refuses to acknowledge the fact that millions of illegal aliens are roaming the streets of America in anticipation of the amnesty bill that will most assuredly come to pass after the election. Instead, the agency focuses on the politically correct criminal population who for the most part are without advocates (at least for now).

I am amazed at the belief held by amnesty advocates that it is difficult to figure out alienage and deportability. Only well-trained agents can do this, so they say. The U.S. Government sends its agents to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for a couple of months and they are taught the skills of criminal investigation including law, police functions and, of course, the Spanish language. (After all, you cannot be an effective immigration officer if you cannot speak Spanish.) After boot camp, the agents return to a duty station and training continues for about a year.

Now, to become a professional sleuth (criminal investigator) it might take a few years, but to determine alienage and deportability requires no more expertise than being able to read a comic book. “What country are you from?â€
