Official: 70% of families from the immigration surge never showed up for follow-up appointments

WASHINGTON (AP) – Tens of thousands of young families caught crossing the border illegally earlier this year subsequently failed to meet with federal immigration agents, as they were instructed, the Homeland Security Department has acknowledged privately.

An official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed that about 70 percent of immigrant families the Obama administration had released into the U.S. never showed up weeks later for follow up appointments.

The ICE official made the disclosure in a confidential meeting at its Washington headquarters with immigration advocates participating in a federal working group on detention and enforcement policies. The Associated Press obtained an audio recording of Wednesday's meeting and separately interviewed participants.

So can we close the BORDER now? 41,000 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS that you can't account for, because they didn't folow your instructions! Yeah Great Job OBAMA! You seriously thought that BORDER jumpers would follow your instructions, when they clearly did not follow the proper protocal to arrive in our country LEGALLY!
