ICE removes detention and removal strategy from website

Filed under: Border Security,Investigation & Enforcement — by Christian Beckner on November 15, 2006
The kooky website Cryptogon had a post a few days ago (hat tip: CQ) where they linked to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement strategic plan for detention and removal from 2004 codenamed Endgame. That report had previously been available online at ice.gov, but shortly after the Cryptogon post revealed its existence, it was removed from the website. The proprietors of this Cryptogon site therefore put it up on their own server, and you can download it here: ENDGAME: Detention and Removal Strategic Plan, 2003 - 2012 The document is unclassified and fairly banal, so I have a hard time believing that this was removed for security reasons. A likelier explanation is that it was removed because it was outdated, a lot of the content in it having been superceded by strategic work under the auspices of the Secure Border Initiative over the last 1+ years.

NY Times editorial on chemical security

Filed under: Congress and HLS,Infrastructure Protection — by Christian Beckner on September 25, 2006
From the New York Times editorial page today, a resolute critique of the current legislative endgame on chemical security:
Congress still has done nothing to protect Americans from a terrorist attack on chemical plants. Republican leaders want to give the impression that that has changed. But voters should not fall for the spin. If the leadership goes through with the strategy it seems to have adopted last week to secure these highly vulnerable targets, national security will be the loser. The federal government is spending extraordinary amounts of money and time protecting air travel from terrorist attacks. But Congress has not yet passed a law to secure the nation’s chemical plants, even though an attack on just one plant could kill or injure as many as 100,000 people. The sticking point has been the chemical industry, a heavy contributor to political campaigns, which does not want to pay the cost of reasonable safety measures. The Senate and the House spent many months carefully developing bipartisan chemical plant security bills. Both measures were far too weak, but they would have finally imposed real safety requirements on the chemical industry. The Republican leadership in Congress blocked both bills from moving forward. Instead, whatever gets done about chemical plant security will apparently be decided behind closed doors, and inserted as a rider to a Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill. It is outrageous that something as important as chemical plant security is being decided in a back-room deal. It is regrettable that Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, the chairwoman of the committee that produced the Senate bill, does not carry enough influence with her own party’s leadership to get a strong chemical plant security bill passed. The deal itself, the likely details of which have emerged in recent days, is a near-complete cave-in to industry, and yet more proof that when it comes to a choice between homeland security and the desires of corporate America, the Republican leadership always goes with big business.
I disagree with the point that the Senate HSGAC and House HSC were too weak - I thought that they were within the target zone - but other than, that is fair critique of what we've seen emerge over the last two weeks. Meanwhile, Reuters provides additional details on the Republican-led deal on this issue in a story tonight, noting that there has been moderate pushback on some of the worst provisions of the industry language (e.g. giving DHS the authority to shutdown plants) - but is still quite weak, essentially codifying the dangerous laissez faire attitude that has prevailed since 9/11 on chemical plant security.

Border legislation moves forward in the Senate

Filed under: Border Security,Congress and HLS — by Christian Beckner on March 28, 2006
Border security legislation is moving forward fast and furiously in the Senate, with the Specter bill moving out of the Judiciary Committee by a 12-6 vote tonight following a series of amendments. Meanwhile, Sen. Frist is still indicating that he wants to move on the stripped-down border security legislation that he introduced last week as an alternative to the Specter bill, put Minority Leader Harry Reid has promised to tie up that bill procedurally. Meanwhile, President Bush gave a speech today that reiterated his support for a guest worker program, arguing that this would not amount to amnesty. All this come against the backdrop of the protests this weekend in Los Angeles and other cities over the prospect of new immigration and border security legislation. And don't forget that we're still in the mid-innings of this debate: all of this is really just positioning for the likely House-Senate conference to reconcile H.R. 4437 and whichever bill passes the Senate. I've offered periodic predictions as to the likely outcome of this debate on border security legislation. It's still difficult to forecast the endgame with any certainty, but one way to predict the outcome is to ask: who needs to compromise? And who can afford not to compromise? For example:
  • Will compromise with the Senate and the White House help or hurt the ability of the House Republicans to retain control of the House in the November elections?
  • Will the supporters of Specter's bill be tarred with the charge of "amnesty" to their political detriment?
  • Will Sen. Frist jeopardize his ability to attract Hispanic voters in a Presidential run by putting forward this alternative bill?
  • How strongly will Bush insist on a guest-worker program at the end of the day - would he sign a bill without one as a political necessity in September or October?
  • Will the rallies and protests against punitive legislation build support for a more lenient bill, or will they instead backfire?
The debate on the Senate floor in the next couple of weeks about this legislation should be interesting. Stay tuned.

WSJ and WaPo editorial pages don’t like the border bill

Filed under: Border Security,Congress and HLS — by Christian Beckner on December 29, 2005
The editorial pages of the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal - which usually disagree with each other - are in lock-step on the border security bill passed by the House early last week. From the Post's piece:
Before leaving town the House of Representatives passed a terrible bill designed to shore up American border security -- or, at least, to appear to do so. The bill, sponsored by Judiciary Committee Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.), is dangerous because of what it does and what it doesn't do. It contains any number of mindless criminal penalties for immigration violations, and it would make both detention and deportation of illegal immigrants easier. But it would do nothing to rationalize U.S. immigration policy. The Bush administration, which has rightly argued for a more sensible approach, disgracefully got behind the bill. And House members, many of whom know better, passed it 239 to 182.
I think the "many of whom know better" comment is exactly right. As I argued earlier here and here, we're still in the early innings on this legislation, and for many members of Congress this was a consequence-free vote. The Wall Street Journal is even harsher on the bill:
Tom Tancredo has done everyone a favor by stating plainly the immigration rejectionists' endgame--turn the United States into the world's largest gated community. The House took a step in that direction this month by passing another immigration "reform" bill heavy with border control and business harassment and light on anything that will work in the real world. ...The legislation is aimed at placating a small but vocal constituency that wants the borders somehow sealed, come what may to the economy, American traditions of liberty or the Republican Party's relationship with the increasingly important Latino vote.
Clearly the business community is going to be more engaged in the next stages of border legislation and will try to moderate its contents. At the end of the day, I think the most likely outcome is a relatively modest bill that strengthens border staffing and technology, improves the detention and removal process, and makes modest improvements to workplace enforcement, but doesn't include a Southern border fence or a guest worker program. There's a chance that these latter two items could be packaged together as part of a grand compromise between the key factions on this issue, but there is a rhetorical chasm between these factions right now, so compromise will not be easy.
