Remember Judge “Turn ‘em Loose Bruce” Wright, who notoriously sent criminals on their merry way?
Well, what can we call the late, unlamented INS but “Wave ‘em INS”?
Government watchdogs have found that thousands of people who shouldn’t have been admitted to the United States were mistakenly allowed in last year because of security lapses at legal border crossings.

[A] source who has seen a full version of the report, in which those statistics were included, put the total at 21,000.
The author of the GAO report, Richard Stana, said most of those who were wrongly allowed to enter were economic migrants who did not present a security risk.
“But as we saw in the recent past, it doesn’t take too many people getting through the ports of entry to cause some real trouble,” he said. “And not everyone who comes in and is a danger needs to be a terrorist. It could be someone connected with a criminal enterprise.”
Twenty-one thousand in one year? That’s more than watch Keith Olbermann.
I was going to say lightly that it sounds like another job for privatization, and then I thought—you bet your ass it does. You think the Minutemen oléd in 21,000 economic migrants, or anyone else? There’s not enough tar and feather for those boys.
Come on, this is our country, not a movie theater. Close enough for government work is not close enough.
