For every one Arab-Muslim we catch at the Mexican border, 15 to 20 get through (according to Linda Vesters' investigative report last month).

This doesn't square with the professional estimation of aprehension rates (10% to 20%) you offered two days ago and which are widely accepted.

Are you familiar with Vester's report?

Is this depressed apprehension rate (5% to 7%) because the investigation was about Muslims only or more obviously because Vester had an agenda?

Any thoughts?

From the report I posted above (in post #24):

but in 2002, about 8,000 of the illegals arrested were “special interest aliens”. What's that term mean? It means that they were from countries with known ties to terror, people from countries like: Libya, Pakistan, and Iran.

Whether the apphrehension rate is 5% or 20%, that's alot of Muslims illegally crossing the border in one year (2002) alone (between 40,000 and 160,000). So it appears the figure I posted above stating that around 15,000 Muslims have illegally crossed since 9/11 was a mistaken one ......it's significantly more than that.

I saw Linda Vester's show. I even recorded it.

I don't know where she got her info, but IMO, she's way off.

There is absolutely no way to know the nationality of those that got through.

Since 96% of the apprehensions are Mexican, and 3% of the remaining 4% are from South America, it’s very doubtful that 15 to 20 Middle Easterner’s get through for everyone caught.
