I know we all like to rip on Bush for his lax immigration policies that seem designed to increase the latino population to be used (foolishly) as a voting bloc for Republicans, but here is some good news that seems to have gone unnoticed.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement has deployed 80 agents assigned to “fugitive operations teams” in 16 cities to find 400,000 fugitive immigrants in the United States, 80,000 of whom were ordered to leave the country after criminal convictions, the Arizona Republic reported.
The $50 million program is part of a Bush administration initiative launched in 2003 and will be expanded by another 30 teams in all 23 field offices, including two teams each in Los Angeles and New York.
Thankfully our administration is enforcing immigration laws.
