ICE Manpower For Immigration Enforcement Cut
In case the high-profile immigration raids conducted to help get the amnesty bill passed duped anyone into thinking the Bush Administration has any interest whatsoever in defending our borders, the Washington Times reports:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement criminal investigators will no longer be involved in immigration work site enforcement or conduct checks for illegal alien prisoners.
Almost 1,000 ICE Office of Investigations agents will be reassigned exclusively to customs investigations, reducing the manpower involved in detention and removal of illegal aliens to 4,000 nationwide, according to documents obtained by The Washington Times and interviews with ICE union representatives.
Michael W. Cutler, a retired US Immigration and Naturalization Services senior agent, states the obvious:
We have only been given the illusion of making a serious effort to enforce our immigration law.
It is truly nice to know we'll never be called upon to vote for W again, after the way he has betrayed this country by refusing to stop the illegal alien invasion.
On a tip from V the K.

The choice is stopping them (and potential terrorists) at the borders versus raiding workplaces. However, Congress could transfer resources from welfare and other "entitlements" to the protection of the citizenry, which is really an entitlement.
