'Mass Exodus' of Agents Leaves INS Scrambling
WASHINGTON -- The Immigration
and Naturalization Service, whose mission of safeguarding U.S.
borders became a household concern after Sept. 11, has been shaken
by an unprecedented exodus of Border Patrol agents and immigration
inspectors this year.
"The INS serves as an attractive career
choice for those looking for a real challenge protecting the
diversity and security of the country."--
Kimberly Weissman, INS spokeswoman (Protecting diversity?)
"There's a lot of individuals who want to go
out there - they want to do the job, but when they can't do it,
they become part of that 25% attrition rate. Maybe we should
be asking the question; why is the Border Patrol losing 25% of
its agents a year?" Ron Sanders - June 2, 2002.
