THE LATEST INS APPREHENSION INFORMATION
Date Range: 01/01/2002 To 05/05/2002 EST
(last updated 05/06/2002)
From 01/01/2002 through 05/05/2002 the INS reported apprehending 523,610 illegal aliens in the US. Now some of these apprehensions are what we call recidivist apprehensions, so we will subtract the recidivist apprehensions from the total apprehensions.
523,610 - 204,226 = 319,384.
So, between 01/01/2002 and 05/05/2002 the INS apprehended approximately 319,384 illegal aliens either attempting to enter the US, or already in the US.
Now the fun numbers.
The INS and the Border Patrol estimates that for every illegal they apprehend, 4 slip by. Independent Immigration experts estimate that for every illegal Border Patrol apprehends, 9 slip by. For this presentation, I will also use a 1 to 2 ratio.
So, if the INS apprehended 319,384 illegal aliens, the number of aliens that made it through undetected would be as follows:
1 to 2 = 638,768
1 to 4 = 1,277,536
1 to 9 = 2,874,456
This means, that anywhere from 638,768 to 2,874,456 illegal aliens entered the United States undetected since 01/01/02.
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 = 638,768+
This is an average of 5,110 illegal aliens entering the US, undetected daily.
Now imagine that just 1/10 of 1% of those illegals are terrorist, here to harm the US.
We now have over 638 possible terrorist undetected inside the United States.
What I find interesting is the persons on this thread who rail against Tom Tancredo for exposing this national sercurity issue. Surely, they cannot believe that everyone coming over our Southern Border have honest intentions. Terrorist swim in an ocean of illegal aliens and this is a national security nightmare. For those who are in denial check this article out.
'Arab Terrorist' Crossing Border-Middle Eastern Illegals Find Easy Entrance Into U.S. From Mexico
Why lock the front door when you leave the back door wide open? This smart border policy with Mexico is nothing but a facade to make the masses feel good.
I also find it amazing that when we even mention putting our Military on the border the Mexican government will gasp, howl and scream that we have the nerve to even patrol our own border. Their hypocrisy shows nothing but total arrogance and hostility towards our sovereignty.
However, it's quite acceptable by them as exposed by Tom Tancredo that their military is on their side of the border and they routinely cross into our sovereign nation. It is only a matter of time before something serious happens down there unless Congress has the guts to put their foot up Vincente Fox's ass.
