Too Broken to Fix

The N.Y. Times reviews the evidence and concludes that it is time to throw in the towel on the controversial 287(g) progams. The introductory paragraph to the editorial says it all:  “The Department of Homeland Security’s inspector general has affirmed what sheriffs, police chiefs, civil-rights lawyers and immigrant advocates have said for years: Outsourcing immigration enforcement to an ill-trained and poorly supervised assortment of state and local law enforcement agencies creates a lot of problems.”

Will the Obama administration listen?  Or, will we continue to see further expansion of the program as DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano relentlessly pursues the made-in-Arizona approach of “enforcement now, enforcement forever”?
