INS destroyed thousands of documents to "eliminate" backlogOf course, many of those in LA, from Arabic countries, who were out of status due to the INS backlog have been detained. Let's see, you play by the rules, the INS destroys all of your papers, and you get arrested, given no food, not allowed to take your medicine, hosed down with a fire hose, and made to sleep on a concrete floor with no blankets. Due Process anyone?Tens of thousands of pieces of mail come into the huge Immigration and Naturalization Service data processing center in Laguna Niguel, Calif., every day, and as at so many government agencies, it tends to pile up. One manager there had a system to get rid of the vexing backlog, federal officials say. This week the manager was charged with illegally shredding as many as 90,000 documents.
And what about everyone else who lost *all* of their documents and are now out of process ? How can you get back into the system once they've destroyed your birth certificate?
