It was an ad in a Texas newspaper that set Marc Moore on the path to a long career in immigration enforcement that started out in El Paso and has now brought him to South Florida.
Moore, who joined the Border Patrol in 1991 to monitor the Mexican border, is now the new field office director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Miami field office for enforcement and removal operations. As such, Moore, 49, will oversee local enforcement of perhaps one of the most controversial aspects of immigration work: detention and deportation of foreign nationals.
Moore has taken charge at a particularly tense time, as immigrant rights and immigration control activists step up the fierce debate over whether undocumented immigrants should be legalized or forced to leave.
Moore, for his part, takes the view that immigration has been perennially controversial and that he intends to enforce laws the way the Obama administration wants them enforced.
