Only three illegal immigrants accept voluntary deportation
Only three illegal immigrants have accepted an offer from the U.S. government to turn themselves in without threat of arrest, the Washington Post reported this week.
The offer was part of a pilot program which targeted 457,000 illegal immigrants.
“The cold reception given to the rollout of the three-week pilot self-deportation program, called Scheduled Departure, presents an apt metaphor for the state of relations between U.S. enforcement officials and immigrant advocates in the year since Congress killed President Bush’s proposed overhaul,” the Post said.

At least ICE gave them a chance. They can not complain that they were never given a chance to turn themselves in. And, they get a free ride home.

I hope Homeland Security and ICE go back to the drawing board on this one!

Let m’ walk, it’s good for their cardiovascular system.
“ICEman” repetitious posts are boring. Or are you nervous causing you to stammer n’ stutter? If you’re nervous relax, a deep breath & quietly say ooooommmaah for five minutes.

If scumbag illegals sneak into our country, what make you think they are going to leave with out getting kicked out?
Last I heard AMERICA is the only place in the world that gives ILLEGALS homes, food, medical care, education, and pays them to lie to US.
They aren’t leaving until we KICK THEIR AS_ES out.
