Border Patrol “Tracking” Illegals w/Ankle Monitor it Takes 5 Mins to Remove

illegalscrossingfence

Don’t worry, they’re taking the problem of an open border very seriously. That’s why they’re releasing huge numbers of illegals while giving them ankle monitors that can be taken off with vaseline.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement earlier this month launched a program to give GPS devices to some parents caught crossing the Mexican border illegally with their children in Texas’ Rio Grande Valley. They were given the devices after being released from custody with notices to report back to immigration officials, according to a confidential ICE document obtained by The Associated Press.

In September, the Homeland Security Department confided to a group of immigrant advocates during a confidential meeting that about 70 percent of immigrants traveling as families failed to report back to ICE as ordered after they were released at the border. The AP obtained an audio recording of the meeting and interviewed participants. The ICE official on the recording was not identified.

ICE said this week that the pilot program, known as “RGV 250,” started Dec. 1 and will eventually track 250 “heads of household” caught traveling with their families in the Rio Grande Valley and released into the interior of the U.S. Once those immigrants arrive and report as ordered, ICE may remove the tracking device.

The tracking device is presumably an ankle monitor, which is a nice gimmick thought up by someone who watched too many movies, but not very effective.

First off, they can be easy to take off. There are ample videos on YouTube showing how, using basic hand lotion and a plastic bag, some offenders have been able to slip the ankle bracelets off their feet. Even Martha Stewart, on home arrest and forced to wear an ankle bracelet in 2005, proclaimed to Vanity Fair: “You can figure out how to get it off. It’s on the Internet. I looked it up.”

I’m sure the people who managed to make it across multiple countries to get here in order to get a piece of that ObamaCare won’t be able to figure out what this guy did.

    If the consequences of mass illegal immigration weren’t so disastrous for America, this would be absolutely hilarious.

    All part of the plan to ‘elect a new people” through mass, 3rd world immigration – legal and illegal.

    ONE MASSIVE DIRTY ROTTEN LIE FROM CAPITOL HILL?

    These Senators turned their back on the American People,
    by going back on their word.

    Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas), Senator Michael Enzi
    (R-Wyo.), Senator Bob
    Corker (R-Tenn.), Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine), Senator Thad Cochran (R-Miss.), Senator
    Daniel Coats (R-Ind.), Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senator Kelly
    Ayotte (R-N.H.), Senator
    Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), voted to fund
    President Obama’s executive amnesty during the lame-duck session contrary to
    his earlier statements. He was one of several Senators who had come out against
    the president’s actions, but then voted much differently. Other Republican
    Senators were at least honest and never lied that they would vote for this
    Socialist-Communist agenda of the imperial Obama clan.

    These Senators had an opportunity to back up
    their idiom with action when Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) raised a “point of
    order” challenging the constitutionality of the president’s executive
    action while the Senate debated the 2015 spending bill.

    While 21 other Senators stood up and voted
    with Senator Cruz, 28 Senators who had previously come out against executive
    amnesty voted in favor of fully funding it.

    Are these Senators that you voted for in your
    state? They all voted for fully funding the 5 million illegal aliens, who will
    be able to compete for the 92 million of jobless and part time American workers.
    These are the Senators who are letting King Obama to issue, work permits,
    social security cards, EBT cards (food Stamps) and access to the affordable Care
    Act (Obamacare). These are the Senators who are destroying the American dream,
    so they can gain favor from the special interests who pay for their supposedly
    working/vacation trips for the lawmaker and his family and brown paper money
    under the table from rich donors, the cronyism and friends

    KEEP THEM IN YOUR MEMORY TO THROW THEM OUT OF
    OFFICE. We have been blatantly lied to since the pledge of enforcing
    immigration laws since 1986. We have no control over the Southern border
    barrier fence. Inside America ICE has limited enforcement to arrest employers
    who hire illegal aliens. Consequently since then we have uninterrupted million
    scaling what fence is in existence or the 46 percent who arrive here as
    tourists and never leave. All this has to be paid for by the middle class; not
    the ‘Freeloaders’ who don’t work who have become parasites of the host
    taxpayer. We are the illiterate fools that don’t know what goes on behind
    closed doors in Congress. We have little knowledge of the privileged few (NOT
    THE TEA PARTY) who are the proverbial puppets of big business. Tell me why if it’s
    illegal to enter the territorial sovereignty of the United States, when it’s not
    classed as a FELONY? IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A HUSHED-UP CONSPIRACY TO BRING IN CHEAP
    LABOR FOR THE GOP or VOTES FOR THE LEFTISTS.

    These SENATORIAL men and women stood with
    their hand on the bible, pledging allegiance to protect the US citizens and lawful
    residence from enemies domestic and foreign. These are the political parties,
    except that the Republicans PROMISED to block His Royal Highnesses illegal
    executive order whether signed by him or written as a memo. At least the
    Democrats are honest in the fact that they voted to give a free pass to
    criminal aliens, who broke the law. Whereas, the lying, corrupt senator Republican
    elites misled the people that they would fight and instead voted for the
    amnesty, voted for the eventual trillions of dollars it would cost the middle
    class. Every day the states and federal funds are drained by foreigners through
    failing to adhere to the policies found in the federal Registry.

    Remember these charlatans in reelection
    campaigns, as the lied to YOU?

    Notwithstanding no plane came to pick them up, and crossing borders without a passport isn’t exactly legal, they headed out on foot anyway. After all, we have money and they want some of it. So they crossed at least two borders, overloaded a decrepit train and traversed thousands of miles in a country that shook them down and robbed them the entire route. Then they jumped the fence and crossed the desert until the Border Patrol could take them in. I think they’re pretty darned determined. Wiggling out of ankle monitors? The final and very minor obstacle to getting what they want.
