#1 In many cases, the 'hits' turn out to be convicts under court order never to return to the U.S.

I'd sure love to know why such people aren't summarily executed. Seems to me that'd solve the majority of problems associated with illegal immigration.

#3 The IAFIS, or Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System, takes all ten prints from illegal entrants and matches them with the FBI Criminal Database. If a 'hit' comes up, agents detain their suspect.

A little voice is telling me something still isn't fixed here. What if there's no "hit"? Do they immediately deport the individual in question or is a hearing date still issued and the person in question allowed to simply walk out the door?
