Undocumented immigrants will get ‘No Pass’ on border

Carolyn Hileman* | February 25, 2008 

Starting Monday, every undocumented immigrant caught crossing the border between Mount Cristo Rey and the Paso del Norte Bridge will be prosecuted, Border Patrol officials said Friday. Captured migrants are now fingerprinted, and if they have no criminal history, can be returned to Mexico within hours without being formally deported or serving jail time. The new, zero-tolerance program, called “No Pass,” is reminiscent of Operation Streamline, which started in 2005 in the Del Rio, Texas, sector and has spread to Laredo, Texas, and Yuma, Ariz.
