2/11    If we'd just stop our racist border policies and remove the
        predominantly white male agents from the area, these things would
        stop happening:

        \_ i think you're the racist.. we have americans at the border
           .. i dont see white people. this is america. if u don't
           like it we can escort your ass to the border
           \_ The make up of the border patrol is not representative of the
              people coming over the border.
              \_ why would it be? it's is representative of the  USA..
                if i go to Germany's border i want to see germans not
                mexicans..
        \_ Are you being sarcastic?
           \_ Don't try to make light of such a serious situation.
        \_ just performing the shootings and fire bombings Americans don't
           want to perform themselves.
        \_ Please try to explain how our border policies are racist.
           \- If you mean immigration enforcement, it is because
              employers arent more harshly penalized for employing
              illegals. although this is really more a case of the
              politically empowered vs the non- rather than a racist issue.

2/26    I have dual citizenship. If I leave US and enter country Z, is
        there a way I can make the immigration booth "stamp" both passports
        (not necessarily stamp, but electronically record) such that both
        countries know that I left US for country Z. Then, when I depart
        country Z and head back to US, only provide the US passport? I'd
        like to do this so country Z thinks that I am permanently residing

        \_ and the state is slowly turning conservative. Meg 2010!

9/14    Does anyone have the controversial book Bell Curve? I know
        it has the political incorrect [and perhaps flawed] data that
        shows certain race have higher IQ than other race and I'm
        wondering how smart Russians are relative to white Americans
        and East Orientals. I can't seem to Google for this information.

Printer Friendly Format Sponsored By February 11, 2006 US Cites Rise in Violence Along Border With Mexico By RACHEL L SWARNS WASHINGTON, Feb. In recent months, scores of Border Patrol agents have been fired upon or pelted with large stones as well as with cloth-covered stones that have been doused with flammable liquid and set ablaze. Since October, agents have been attacked in more than 190 cases, officials said on Thursday. Most of the attacks have occurred along the Mexican border near San Diego, but shootings have also been reported along the border in Texas near the cities of Laredo and McAllen. The officials could not say precisely how many officers had been injured in the attacks, which have originated from both sides of the border. "This is what we're facing," said David V Aguilar, the Border Patrol chief, who played a videotape at a news conference on Thursday that featured a patrol car riddled with bullets and agents scrambling for cover as stones rained down on them. This week President Bush asked Congress to increase the Homeland Security Department's budget by nearly 6 percent. The Border Patrol would receive an extra $459 million to hire 1,500 new agents, bringing the total force to about 14,000. An additional $410 million would be allocated to add 6,700 beds for detainees so fewer illegal immigrants would have to be released before being deported. Another $100 million would be spent on cameras, sensors and other detection technology. Mr Chertoff said the department planned to focus on illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico, who have typically been released after apprehension because of shortages of beds. Last fall, he expanded the use of summary deportations, a process known as expedited removal, in which illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico are detained and then deported without seeing an immigration judge. But officials have struggled to find space for family groups and remain unable to process illegal immigrants from El Salvador because of a court ruling from the 1980's, when civil war wracked that country, that requires officials to allow Salvadorans to see judges before deportation. Nationwide, 18,207 illegal immigrants from countries other than Mexico, nearly 60 percent of the total apprehended, were released on their own recognizance in the first three months of this fiscal year. Officials of the Homeland Security Department said they were making headway in detaining and deporting these illegal immigrants. They are also working on finding more space for families and battling to change the rule regarding Salvadorans. As for the violence on the border, the officials said Mexico had deployed 300 federal officers along its side of the border to help out. Last week, immigration officials announced that they had seized a cache of weapons, including materials for 33 explosive devices, assault weapons and machine gun assembly kits, in Laredo. Officials believe the weapons were intended for criminals in Mexico. "These are very sophisticated, hardened criminals who will use violence to protect their criminal businesses," Mr Chertoff said. "We've got to be prepared to deal very decisively with any violence directed at our Border Patrol agents."
