Today's immigration news

Michelle Malkin and Mark Krikorian have articles on the INS, which will be replaced with new bureaus of the Department of Homeland Security tomorrow.

The report '2 agents targeted by INS in Maine' discusses how two INS agents were targeted for an internal probe after telling a newspaper that they'd been assigned to desk jobs rather than being able to go out and enforce the laws.

The article 'American Border Patrol: Burning bridges' skewers Glenn Spencer. I saw Spencer on TV once, and he could barely make his point. His site americanpatrol.com frequently says and does stupid things that just makes things more difficult for those who favor a sane immigration policy. So, more power to ya.

The article '37 arrested at Warren AFB: Raid finds illegal workers at largest missile-defense unit' says:

Authorities did not believe the unauthorized employees were on the base to harm the United States.

Well, that sets my mind at ease.

The 5,600-acre base is home to the Air Force Space Command's 90th Space Wing, which maintains 150 Minuteman III and 50 Peacekeeper missiles over a 12,600-square-mile area of Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska.

However, Smith said the contracting office at Warren Air Force Base is expected to review the matter to determine how so many undocumented workers secured jobs at the headquarters of the world's most powerful and combat-ready ICBM force.

Yeah, but they work cheap, and that's all that matters.

On a slightly related note, the series of articles in Wired about security problems at Los Alamos is pretty shocking. The sidebar at that page has links to other articles from the series.
