The sheriff here in ozark county apprehended some illegals and called ice. They told him to drive them to the edge of his jurisdiction and let them go because they weren't going to do anything about it. He is still pissed about it.
Hndg - Do you remember a couple of years ago when the state patrol stopped a van outside of Springfield that had 11 illegal immigrants in it? The troopers called the INS to report them and were told that the INS didn't have any facilities for housing them. The illegals were driven to the GreyHound station and dropped off. I gotta beleive they bought a one-way ticket back to Mexico. After all, they wouldn't have wanted to stay where they weren't wanted.
