#1 When you get no justice from those officials responsible, then you take matters into your own hands.
I believe volunteers should go to the border and start digging 2 x 6 x 6s so the border patrol has an option. The sight of all those open graves will send a message to the wetbacks also.

#2 Gonzales replied that he was urging U.S. attorneys to more actively enforce laws but noted that immigration cases were a tremendous strain and burden along the border.

Yeah... you know prosecuting murders and rapes als is a 'tremendous strain' perhaps we shouldn't prosecute those either.

If you start prosecuting these and close the frigging border you wouldn't have such a 'strain'. DOH!

#3 Sounds like I'd rather 6,000 more prosecutors than 6,000 more border patrollers.

#4 Anyone who has ever been summoned for jury duty on a deportation case realizes just how badly we shoot ourselves in the foot. Although I was not selected, I found the selection process to be illuminating. The defendant who had been deported twice before was there with his tax-payer funded defense team, two lawyers and a jury selection consultant. The judge asked if anyone thought that deportation hearings were a waste of time and clogged the federal court system. Anyone who responded affirmatively was asked to leave. Further, there were an inordinate number of questions about our thoughts about illegal immigration, anyone who responded that the operative word was illegal was dismissed. Anyone with a military background was deselected by the taxpayer paid jury consultant. The only one who smiled through this travesty was the defendant, who was prima facie guilty having been arrested a 3rd time in the US without papers. He was enjoying the fact that the US taxpayer was paying for a six week long circus involving no fewer than 5 lawyers, a jury consultant, the judge and all the other court personnel, about 50 potential jurors and 18 final jurors, for his amusement.

Anyone who has ever had any contact with this charade who is not demoralized has already been lobotomized.

"...jury selection consultant."

A good start would be to do away with this judicial travesty.

After we seal the border, and dig those empty graves!
