The
INS Needs Far More Fixing
One critic of the [INS] calls its policy
"catch and release," a nod to fishermen's practice
of using barbless hooks so they can more easily release their
prey. It's an apt description for how the INS sets illegal aliens
free on bail after they've been charged with a crime, and it
has enormous implications for the war on terrorism. -- Consider
the case of John
Lee Malvo, the 17-year-old arrested in October and charged
as one of the two Beltway snipers who murdered 10 people in metropolitan
Washington, D.C., over a several-week period in the fall. |

Fallout -- What Democrats should do about immigration
In the past, the Democratic Party had

Fair Deal, New Frontier, Great Society. Yet in the No. 5 election,
it offered no challenging solutions to address voters' concerns.
It simply surrendered. That's why many Democratic voters in this

Mexicans
urge their lawbreakers not to use fake IDs

urging migrants
not to adopt false identities when they come to the United States,
saying such action in the wake of last year's terrorist attacks
will likely bring more problems than benefits. -- Some
illegal immigrants take false identities to avoid being processed
- if detained by U.S. authorities - under their true names. Mexican
consulates are urging an end to the practice. [This appears to
have been perfectly acceptable to the corrupt Mexican government
