Border Patrol: Not Much to Do About Repeat Illegal Crossers

Border Patrol officials say there is not much they can do about repeat illegal border crossers.

Agents say the only thing they can do to repeat illegal crossers is to lock them up for awhile.

"They're going to spend some more time in a federal facility," said Border Patrol spokesman Chuy Rodriguez. "I mean that's all we can do at this point is to continue to incarcerate them when we apprehend them out in the desert."

Rodriguez said they catch repeat violators all the time.

"Every day in the Tucson sector we arrest someone who has been previously deported," Rodriguez said.

But until a biometric fingerprint scan is done, Rodriguez said, agents have no idea whether someone is crossing illegally for the first time or the 20th.

Once someone is identified as having been deported or having a criminal record, they can be locked up, but Rodriguez said that's about the only option.

And despite new technology, fencing and vehicle barriers, Rodriguez said they're not going to catch everyone.

Rodriguez said the agency is doing everything it can to reduce illegal entry.

"The agents out there working 24 hours patrolling the border," Rodriguez said. "We're putting technology out there. We're putting vehicle barriers out there to keep people from driving in."

Fine them. Don't let them out, until they pay. That works in Mexico.

This is a wimpy excuse for us all to be biometric'd (I know that's not a word, but I like it). To listen to some of the excuses coming out of the departments in our government, one would think we live in the stone ages and that we are all idiots. Sometimes I feel like I'm in Twilight Zone, and sometimes, like this one, I feel like we been invaded somewhat like Invasion of the Body Snatchers and all our government has been replaced with alien creatures.

why does it seem that we have DUMB A_ _'s that run our government and it's agencies....

It's like we do not have a lessons learned program so we do not repeat mistakes of the past

We are stuck on stupid

Build those tent cities and get to dying the pink underwear and bring on the bologna. Don't let them out until the fence is up and the military is guarding the border. 50 cents a day it is a heck of a lot cheaper then letting them rape our welfare and medical systems not to mention the crime we are always trying to stay ahead of.

Paige,

Yours is a saner idea than what's occurring. A little bit of tooling around in pink underwear waving a balonie sandwich might make them not quite so anxious to cross that border again. Wonder if we can get Sheriff Joe to run for president?
