Government is dumb.
Rather than risk getting caught, turn yourselves in.
That’s the latest government strategy in its ongoing effort to dramatically reduce the nation’s ballooning population of illegal immigrants.
Scheduled to be unveiled next week, it was announced Sunday by Julie Myers, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in an interview with a Spanish-language television network.
Myers told the network that “Operation Scheduled Departure” will allow illegal immigrants without criminal records a chance to literally “self-deport” by turning themselves in to her agents.
She said the idea derived from a common complaint voiced by immigrant detainees: If given the opportunity, they’d rather just go home than be holed up in immigration prisons.
Really? Like they didn’t know when the jumped the fence, laid down in a trunk, hiked through the desert, or swam across a polluted river that they were going to be living here illegally.

The trulyannoying part is they really think noone will notice the stupidity.
