Unfortunately. the inspectors do not fit into the rather narrow definition of a law enforcement officer found in the statute. I believe the facts speak for themselves in this matter: First. customs inspectors make on the order of 3.000 arrests a year. more than half of them on information from the FBIs National Crime Information Center (NCIC). The FBI states that customs inspectors make more NCIC arrests than all other Federal agencies combined. And all of them are felony arrests. Second. immigration inspectors have lead responsibility for screening individuals entering the country. Last year. 533.063 inadmissable aliens were intercepted at ports of entry. Many aliens used fraudulent or counterfeit documents.
