You are absolutely right about the smugglers. Once Tuscon and Yuma Sectors are shored up with manpower and equipment, I'm afraid we are going to see a lot more violence on the border.

"...apprehensions of illegal immigrants have been on a decline in the El Centro Sector compared to last year"

Probably because they're making less effort to apprehend them. Shouldn't more agents equal MORE detentiions?

There's room for improvement, however illegal crossings have gone down. Of course this is just one sector. All those that couldn't get across in El Centro Sector are now making it across in Yuma and Tuscon Sectors.
