Deporting the "OTMs"

Washington Times:

The Department of Homeland Security, facing a flood of illegal aliens from countries other than Mexico, has increased efforts to remove non-Mexican foreign nationals now being released back onto the streets of America because of a lack of detention space.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has ordered that expedited removal proceedings for non-Mexican foreign nationals caught illegally entering the United States be expanded from three to all nine U.S. Border Patrol sectors along the Southwest border.
Mexican nationals caught in the United States illegally are bused back within a few hours, but illegals known as "other than Mexican," or OTMs, must be flown to their home countries, a process that often takes months.
The new process is aimed at reducing the number of OTMs who have spent less than 14 days in the United States and who are apprehended within 100 miles of the border.
"The use of this authority will allow DHS the ability to gain greater control of our borders and to protect our country against the terrorist threat," Mr. Chertoff said.
Nearly 70 percent, or 68,000, of the more than 98,000 OTMs detained so far this year were released almost immediately because of the government's inability to return them to their home country and a lack of detention facilities to hold them while here, federal authorities said.
