#1 None of this technology crap means a damned thing if illegal aliens get off scot-free once they get past ten or twenty miles from the border. Dangerous people can't be identified if they haven't been taken into custody.

CBP is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of the nation's borders at and between the ports of entry.

What about doing something about the undesirables that are ALREADY IN? Who covers that?

#2 Criminal aliens already in the U.S. are the job of ICE, or Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE was formed from the old INS, plus some Customs personnel. It retained the dysfunctional procedures, computers and managers of the INS and is, by some accounts, as bad as the INS was -- which is to say, very bad indeed.

#3 One reason ICE/INS enforcement was so lackluster was short manpower, of course, but just as important, IMHO, was the clear perception that the President didn't want the immigration laws enforced. Ditto the Congress (for the most part, with occasional mavericks like Sensenbrenner and Tancredo), the mayors of New York and other big cities, CAIR, etc.

The enforcement guys I worked with at INS/ICE were bright, vigorous, motivated guys who felt demoralized by the mass of stupid managers over them. When they got to get out in the field and actually enforce the freakin law, they were overjoyed and worked like frantic demons before being brought back to headquarters for a mandatory diversity lecture. I kid you not.
