The table below represents all the recorded INS apprehensions for the above time period. At the bottom of the table is a glossary to help you better understand what you are looking at. Once we are done looking at the table, I will present some facts about what these number represent. These facts may shock you. This table will be updated approximately every two weeks.

Table Glossary:
Encounters (also know as "Enrollments"): The total number of encounters (recorded apprehensions) into the system.
LO Hits: (Lookout Hits) The number of apprehensions involving people who have criminal records in the Lookout Database.
RC Hits: (Recidivist Hits) The number of apprehensions involving people who previously had been apprehended and having at least one record in the recidivist database.
District: The INS District is composed of the land Ports of Entry (Inspections), Airports (Inspections), and the District office (Detention, Deportation & Investigations) within that District.
Sector: The Border Patrol Sector is composed of the Border Patrol Stations and Check Points within that Sector.
Lets do some math.
From 01/01/2002 through 03/10/2002 the INS reported apprehending 263,586 illegal aliens in the US.
Now some of these apprehensions are what we call recidivist apprehensions, so well will subtract the RC HITS from the ENCOUNTERS.
263,586 - 103,679 = 159,907.
So, between 01/01/2002 and 03/10/2002 the INS apprehended approximately 159,907 illegal aliens either attempting to enter the US, or already in the US.
Now the fun numbers.
The Border Patrol estimates that for every illegal they apprehend, 4 slip by. Independent Immigration experts estimate that closer to 9 slip by, for every 1 alien apprehended. For this presentation, I will also use a 1 to 2 ratio.
So, if the INS apprehended 159,907 illegal aliens, the number of aliens that made it through undetected would be as follows:
1 to 2 = 319,814
1 to 4 = 639,628
1 to 9 = 1,439,163
This means, that anywhere from 319,814 to 1,439,163 illegal aliens entered the United States undetected since January 1st, 2002. .
Now for some more disturbing figures.
US and Allied troops that invaded Normandy in 1944 = 250,000 + US troops that invaded Okinawa in 1945 = 550,000+ Illegal aliens that have invaded the US in 2002 = between 319,814 and 1,439,163.
Now imagine that just 1/10 of 1% of those illegals are from Middle Eastern Countries.
We now have between 319 and 1,439 possible terrorist undetected inside
