What a concept! I can just see a border patrol agent sponsored by some shoe factory in Ohio. The problem, of course, with these costs is that they're not anticipated so they're not budgeted. Who knows what won't get done in the city of Miami or by the INS because funds had to be shifted to these unplanned expenditures at the expense of something else? I'm not sure, though, how much sympathy I have for Miami since their elected officials played such a big role in stirring up the populace to the point where so much police attention was needed. The voters might want to consider voting for candidates with calming influence as a way to lower their taxes. Karen

For instance Taco Bell or Smith & Wesson might have been interested in picking up the tab for the seizure if all the INS people wore their Logos on their attack gear. Great idea ! Just like race car drivers plaster their cars and Nomex suits with badges ! The introduction to the show would start something like this: Badges ? Yes, we DO need our steeenking badges!! And then you would see the start of the seizure... In fact it could be such good business that they might have staged the rescue operation live at prime time so they could have promo'ed it. Fear NOT... They can still claim royalties, (or something like that), when they finally create the soap opera and shown via Televisa (in Lat Am), and its US division, Univision. I love the Taco Hell idea, it would replace that super-ugly shit-eating-Chihuahua (who I hate with burning passion). It sure would knock Geraldo out of the box. Why take him out ? make him the spokeperson of this and future action-packed-fully-sponsored-illegal-alien-seizures. They already do it in LA with police car chases... Long live Capitalism. Great idea !
