Aguilar Border Patrol, U.S. Customs and Border Protection U.S. Department of Homeland Security etc.........

Once apprehended, most OTMs are released into the local community until their immigration hearing. A significant percentage of OTMs however, do not appear before the court and reside illegally within the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recently announced plans to expand its expedited removal program to all Border Patrol sectors along the Southwest border.

Local News U.S. Rep. Hostettler visits Greene County Linton Daily Citizen Mon, 26 Sep 2005 2:23 PM Hostettler said another issue that impacts our society and economy as well as the national security is the flow of illegal aliens into the United States. "I added legislation to a bill that was implemented last year that took on many recommendations of the 9/11 Commission," Hostettler said. The legislation would double the number of Border Patrol officers from 10,000 to 20,000 in five years. It would triple the number of immigration enforcement agents over the next five years and increase detention beds by 40,000. Unfortunately, President Bush's FYO 2006 budget only calls for a fraction of what was authorized as a result of the legislation, Hostettler explained. |
