Immigration - 5 strikes?
I guess this issue is not very important to the powers that be.
That would be those who want the voting support of certain people...

I found this in an article at WorldNetDaily.com:
"It generally takes six arrests before U.S. prosecutors are willing to bring criminal charges against illegal immigrants caught crossing the border, according to documents released in the controversy about eight fired U.S. attorneys.
The prosecution guidelines were disclosed in a heavily redacted Department of Justice memo from late 2005, the Houston Chronicle reported.
The paper said DOJ officials declined to say yesterday whether the department had made any changes since the memo was written, citing 'law enforcement reasons.'
T.J. Bonner, president of the National Border Patrol Council, told the Chronicle border agents are frustrated with the prosecution guidelines, noting smugglers have figured out the criteria by trial and error.
'It's devastating on morale,' Bonner said. 'Our agents are risking their lives out there, and then they're told, 'Sorry, that doesn't meet the criteria.'"
