The people smuggling culture is one marked by little if any value of life or respect for persons or property. This is reflected in their response to authority and their treatment of their human cargo. One study estimates that over 80% of people being smuggled into this country become the victims of criminal activity before they ever cross the border.

Yet in spite of that huge influx, Obama,(and our press) have been able to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in America from 12 million to to 11 million. Looking at the number of illegal entries, (or the numbers of non-English speaking residents in California), one would expect the number to be closer to 22 million. Yet Obama has cut that number in half. He is so amazing.
