Just concerned about the Southern border, eh?

No. But I do consider it a larger priority since I live approximately 15 miles from it and see what comes through it every day.

A small piece of border trivia to warm the cockles of your heart:

The combined apprehension number for ICE and BCP for FY 2002 was 1,062,279. Of that number, 994,720 were Mexican. Now is that greedy or what? That left only 67,559 slots for every other nationality under the sun.

This is perturbing as I have many Asian friends. Japan only got 66; South Korea only got 527; Viet Nam only got 437; the Philippines, a former US territory, only got 720. And why were less than 13% of them cute latinas? There has to be a good affirmative action lawsuit in this mess somewhere and I think we should pursue it.

I haven't seen the final FY 2003 figures yet (they're still stuck somewhere in the political spin cycle), but when last seen the count for our southern border alone stood at 932,251. That does not include our other borders or the folks who "forgot" their visa expiration date.
