An immigrant hero.

"There has to be a proper way of doing it. You have to have rules and regulations. You can't have open borders,"

Is that the words of Congressman Tom Tancredo one of the Minutemen on the illegal immigration problem? No, it's the words of Hung V. Nguyen a U.S. immigration agent who was an immigrant himself. Mr. Nguyen is doing more than congress is on the immigration problem and he also has more of an understanding of the issue too as shown by the quote:

"They're using the system against us. They're throwing so many things at us that sooner or later someone will get through," Nguyen, 33, explained in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement conference room in a Chicago suburb. "They just overwhelm you. Once they have a little loophole, they keep on doing it."

This is from an interesting article in today's Washington Post about an immigration agent who is was also an immigrant himself. But, instead of being part of the problem he is part of the solution and helping our keep the country secure by enforcing our our laws and my hat goes off to him. One of the unsung heroes of our government.
