Carol Lam Asked To Step Down

US Attorney Carol Lam was reportly asked by the Bush administration to step down. Her jurisdiction covered San Diego and Imperial Counties. "Lam, a Bush appointee who took the helm in 2002, was targeted because of job performance issues – in particular that she failed to make smuggling and gun cases a top priority . . . When she took over, Lam made it clear that she planned to focus less on low-level smuggling cases in favor of public corruption and white collar crime, which would mean fewer but more significant prosecutions."

Cases of harboring (providing shelter to) illegal aliens are a subset of human smuggling.

Our border region needs a US Attorney dedicated to the enforcement of US laws against crimes related to illegal immigration.
