"When will we secure our borders? Ever?"
Not with the elected group we have now. That's for sure because they are just a part of the bunch who are allowing it to grow worse everyday.
New immigrants in the traditional major settlement states of New York, California, New Jersey, Florida, Texas and Illinois were running more than a quarter million immigrants higher each year than during the 1990s, the report said. It also said 19 states now receive more than double the rate of new immigrant settlements than before 2000.

The INS / Border Patrol apprehended 929,809 deportable aliens along the southwest border during FY 2002. From the above data, you can see that 1,012,429 of the total INS service wide apprehended aliens claimed to have illegally crossed the southwest border. On these two figures alone, we know that 82,620 illegal aliens slipped past the INS / Border Patrol.
The INS / Border Patrol estimates that they apprehend approximately 40% to 60% of the illegal aliens crossing into the United States, depending on who you speak with.
Independent immigration experts estimate that the INS / Border Patrol apprehends only 10% to 20% of the illegal aliens crossing into the United States.
From my personnel experience and knowledge, the independent experts estimates are more accurate.
For this presentation, I will use an apprehension ratio of 33%.
If the INS / Border Patrol has apprehended 929,809 illegal aliens along the south west border in fy 2002, then it is reasonable to assume that approximately 1,859,618 may have slipped pass the INS / Border Patrol.
This is an average of over 5,000 illegal aliens entering the United States undetected daily.
Here are some numbers to help put this into perspective:
US and Allied troops that invaded Normandy in 1944 = 250,000+
US troops that invaded Okinawa in 1945 = 550,000+
Illegal aliens that have invaded the United States in FY 2002 = 1.8 million +
On annual illegal immigration, the Center for Immigration Studies has extrapolated the latest Census data to show that Census data suggest that 700,000 to 800,000 new illegal aliens are settling each year. Now, far, far more than that enter illegally each year, but there is a lot of back and forth. The 700,000 to 800,000 represents illegals who truly settle in for at least a couple of year, and usually much, much longer.

Probably can't be turned around in time. Maybe the "move to Wyoming" plan can still work but I think the border states are lost. Imagine how this will speed up under Kerry.
Hells bells, look at the number of swarthy middle eastern types we caught...
makes one wonder how many groups of twenty or so highly organized muslim types with a plan made it through.
Thanks for posting these numbers.
Thanks for the interesing post. Do you have a link for the numbers and table you posted? Are they from the FAIR report? The link in your post went to a Washington Times article.
