The Waterkooler

Virginians got a reminder last week of how the federal government's turn-'em-loose illegal-immigration policies work. Last Sunday, a Fairfax County police officer in Annandale stopped a Dodge van after it made an illegal U-turn. The officer discovered 11 Mexican nationals inside, all of them illegals. County police handed the illegals over to the Department of Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Shortly after processing the illegals, however, ICE released them into the general public on a promise. The promise was to show up Thursday at ICE's Northern Virginia offices for immigration proceedings. But the illegals failed to attend.
