San Diego To Test 'Deport Yourself' Program

SAN DIEGO -- San Diego and Santa Ana will be two of four test cities for a federal "deport yourself" program where people already convicted of being in this nation illegally can avoid arrest by signing up to leave in a test program announced by federal officials. Persons who have already lost in immigration court, and who have outstanding final deportation orders that have not been obeyed, can avoid arrest through the program, the Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agency said.

By some counts, as many as 572,000 people in the United States are considered "fugitive aliens" by ICE and face arrest and possible imprisonment if found by immigration agents, even if they are found while leaving the United States. Fugitive aliens are commonly arrested walking out of the U.S. at the Tijuana pedestrian crossing.

People who register for "Operation Scheduled Departure" will be given 90 days to get their affairs in order and arrange to leave the U.S. Those who request financial assistance for a ticket to a distant nation will receive it, and once they leave they are banned from returning to the U.S., even legally, for 20 years.

Persons with criminal warrants will be arrested, however, as the program is not an amnesty program, officials said. The program will be tested in the San Diego and Santa Ana offices in California, as well as Phoenix and Charlotte, N.C.

- Why don't these people just admit that they don't have a fucking clue about what they're doing, and be done with it? Because this is getting too painful to watch.....

3. For some reason I am picturing Cheech & Chong in "Up in Smoke"

You know where the family calls the INS so they can get a free ride to Mexico for a wedding.

4. Will they introduce a "Torture Yourself Program" next?

Or a "Surveil Yourself Program"?

I think I've seen the merger of those two on late night Cinemax.

5. Since they're so interested in returning people to "where they belong"

...they should provide the same service to BushCo -- a non-stop flight on the Torture Express to the Hague.
