Illegal immigrants smile after being released in Harlingen, Texas, April 13, 2005. Over 100,000 undocumented migrants caught crossing into the U.S. have walked right out of custody. They are the so-called OTMs, or "Other Than Mexicans," too far from their homes to be shipped right back. With no place to hold them all, they are released with a notice to appear in court, though thousands have failed to show up.
