Lou Dobbs Exposes OTM Scandal "Tonight, it is perhaps the best deal for illegal aliens in an entire Comments
You dont need detention beds. They can sleep on the ground for all i care. Put up a tent city and put them in there but however they want to do it just get them out of here and stop using excuses. Grant me the power i bet i can make them leave. Posted by: Shane on June 23, 2005 03:23 PM Right on Shane. I couldn’t have put it better myself. Give em a blanket and a piece of plastic. No more coddling. Posted by: Gail Roma on June 23, 2005 10:43 PM That's a good point, Shane. I never thought of it quite that way. These people sleep on the ground for days or even weeks to violate our laws, then if we catch them, it is sooo important that we give them beds that we let them go if we can't, and then they go back to sleeping on the ground. Posted by: Bill Dexter on June 24, 2005 09:38 AM Why are we even allowing them to stay. Fingerprint them and send them back across the border they just entered illegally from. They are not our responsibility. Posted by: Don Jackle on June 24, 2005 09:42 AM Tennessee Nuclear Weapons Plant; Report: Illegals worked at Y-12 By FRANK MUNGER, munger@knews.com
The report said the foreign workers had multiple opportunities to acquire information on construction of the leased facility, including documents labeled "official use only" or "unclassified controlled nuclear information." The facility eventually will be used to store "secret-restricted" documents. "During our physical inspection of the Y-12 leased facility, we observed UCNI and OUO documents lying unprotected in a construction trailer, which was accessed by the foreign construction workers," the report said. "We concluded that this situation represented a potentially serious access control and security problem." Steven Wyatt, a government spokesman at Y-12, said he could not give the nationality of the foreign workers or specify the areas of the plant where they worked. He also declined to name the companies involved or say if any fines were levied for using illegal aliens at the government plant. The construction companies were working as subcontractors to BWXT, the government's managing contractor at Y-12. Wyatt said plant officials last summer became concerned about the potential for uncleared workers at the construction site. "Once it was discovered that some workers had falsely claimed to be U.S. citizens, the investigation was turned over to the IG," Wyatt said. After evidence of illegal aliens working at the site, Y-12 suspended work at the site, and later BWXT - the plant's managing contractor - began "aggressive actions" to tighten access to Y-12, the spokesman said. This included a new requirement for uncleared visitors to prove citizenship with a passport, birth certificate or other measures, Wyatt said. He added: "There is no evidence that any classified information was compromised during the presence of the non-U.S. citizen construction workers at any site." Wyatt said the illegal aliens were never inside the plant's "exclusion zone" - the area of tightest security - where work is conducted on nuclear warheads. The Inspector General coordinated aspects of the investigation with the Department of Homeland Security, particularly the use of fraudulent identification by foreign construction workers. Officials at Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement determined that the "green cards" used by 16 workers were fraudulent. Therefore, the workers were considered illegal aliens, the report said. The IG report said some of the lessons learned from Y-12's problems are applicable to other Department of Energy sites around the United States. There also are plans to do a future audit at Y-12 to make sure that corrective actions have been made, the report said. This is another in a series of embarrassing security issues in Oak Ridge, including prior reports that guards cheated during an anti-terrorist drill and mixed live ammunition with blanks during a training exercise.

broken immigration system. Illegal aliens from any country other than Mexico can surrender to our Border Patrol and then walk free. The reason? There are simply not enough detention centers in this country for illegal aliens -- for illegal aliens called OTM -- that means 'other than Mexican.' Bill Tucker reports from Pearsall, Texas," said Lou Dobbs on his CNN show yesterday. "The federal authorities need to step up to the plate and face their responsibility. They are responsible for protecting our borders, all the borders of the United States, and that includes keeping illegal aliens from entering this country illegally. They need to stop it," said Sheriff D'wayne Jernigan of Val Verde Texas.
