1500 A DAY? That's ridiculous, I don't believe that statistic. that would mean they're coming over literally in droves. If that were the case, don't you think we could stop them? Something is fishy. Not saying that it's not happening, just saying that this is a trumped up statistic.

Have you ever spent time on the Border? While stationed in Imperial Beach California I used to sit on the hillside that faces the border with my uncle and we would watch as they would litteraly try to cross in herds. About every 15 minutes a border patrol officer would come through and check on them periodically to mark their position. Knowing that I was in the Navy, On one instance one of the officers handed us his night vision binocs. and asked us to keep an eye on them while he run up the pathway to check on another herd of them coming over. He returned about 15 minutes later with several other officers who waited them out until they finally snagged them trying to make their move.

I happens, and if you dont believe it, go have a look for yourself.

Before the new border fence went up in San Diego they used to line up by the hundreds on an area known as the soccer field. Went it got dark they would rush the border. While this was going on they were also coming across in other areas. You have no idea how bad it was unless you lived in South San Diego near the border. People running through yards all night long. Now it has shifted to East county where it is truly a Wild West movie set.

By the INS own records, they catch between 4000-6000 illegal trespassers crossing our borders in each 24 hour period. By their own accounts, they figure they catch one in 10. You do the math. Oh yea, one in five is OTM (other than Mexican).

Sleep well.
