If they're wide open, then why do thousands get arrested each year for violating the border?

Because they know the odds of getting through are much better than the odds of getting caught.

Coop, thousands being arrested is a drop in the bucket compared to the millions who roam about and live in this country unabated. Until the borders are secured and employers are severely fined for employing illegals there will be no "homeland security!", not to mention extremely expensive for American taxpayers.

DOH!

What, you think our southern border is secure and our sovereignty is safe? We have upwards of 15 million people in our country illegally and you make a statement like this? Hehe..

A few of my partners were hanging around drinking coffee, and we came across your post. Thanks, we all had a good belly laugh.

That's true, however

That guy might be able to pull down one on occassion, like an African lion, that by no means says that the majority of zebras aren't escaping.

True thousands are arrested, however more thousands make it into the US everyday.

Just had a thread about a Tucson TV station that filmed 198 crossing in ONE HOUR.....TV crew called BP, yet later BP reported that NO illegals were apprehended in that area.

198 per hr. in just *one* place along our southern border......the invasion continues....
