#1 272 investigators assigned to the unit arrest 1,400 visa violators a year

That's 5.14 arrests per agent, per year.

Or one arrest every 71 days.

Our tax dollars at work.

#2 Visa violators represent nearly half of the 11 million illegal immigrants in the country. But they have been largely ignored amid a national clamor to secure the border

Ignored by the media and Left in an attempt to make ILLEGAL ALIEN enforcement a 'race' issue. The Arizona law applies equally to visa violators as well as border crossers. But the media and left (including Obumbles himself) want to protray it as only an anti-mexican law.

#3 Well for Arizona you have to suspect the majority of illegals are border hoppers.

#4 When I was vainly trying to arrange a US visa for my Thai wife, we briefly considered sneaking across the Arizona border. In fact, a high-ranking immigration official (off the record) suggested it as the most effective method to get her into the country.

The only (legal) alternative was a 3-5 year wait and $30,000+.

#5 P.S. My Thai wife could not fathom the insanity of our immigration system. The only thing she could figure was that I DIDN'T WANT HER TO SEE THE USA AND WAS TRYING TO SABOTAGE THE VISA PROCESS.

It destroyed our marriage.

#6 I'm sorry, Scooter dear.
