STEP RIGHT UP: 'Operation Scheduled Departure', a pilot program by the
Homeland Security Department's Immigration and Customs Enforcement
agency, was launched in five cities in hopes that some of the estimated
11 million illegal immigrants would deport themselves. An estimated
457,000 illegals were targeted: those who had been ordered to leave,
but had not done so. If they volunteered to self-deport under the new
program, they wouldn't be prosecuted for staying. During the three-week
pilot phase, only eight people volunteered to be deported. 'I don't
consider the program a failure,' said Jim Hayes, in charge of ICE's
deportation unit, since the $41,000 effort proved that such programs
are ineffective. (New York Times)"
