Who knew?
Immigration agency scraps self-deportation program
By Amy Taxin
ASSOCIATED PRESS
12:40 a.m. August 22, 2008
SANTA ANA � U.S. authorities have drawn sharp criticism for showing up at homes before dawn to capture illegal immigrants who have skirted court
orders to leave the country.
A three-week pilot program in five cities was intended to show a softer touch by allowing illegal immigrants to surrender. But after getting only
eight volunteers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the plan doesn't work.

Remember in that Cheech and Chong movie... Cheech's relatives had ratted themselves out to La Migra in East LA. They were all dressed in formal attire
to get a free ride to Tijuana for the wedding and the whole wedding party filled the bus.

Program cancelled because:
all the increased manpower it was taking up?
all the extra vehicles it was employing?
So, what now.........they refuse to deport future persons who volunteer?
