| On Friday morning last week, at 9:40 Arizona time, one of the Border Patrol's more controversial efforts to rein in illegal immigration quietly took flight. That's when patrol agents loaded 94 illegal immigrants—all captured in the Arizona desert—into a chartered Boeing 757 bound for Mexico City. Two immigrants were so weak they had to be carried onto the plane by Borstar agents, Border Patrol's elite fleet of medically trained officials. Seven others were under the age of 18. The whole effort was part of the Interior Repatriation Program, a Department of Homeland Security effort to transport illegal immigrants captured in the broiling Arizona desert back to their hometowns in Mexico. |

Democrats hope next week to introduce the measure, which would call for the creation of an independent panel modeled on the 9/11 commission, as part of the debate on the Defense Department reauthorization bill. |
