You said illegal immigration has doubled under Bush at post 26.
Source it or quit lying to extend your dishonest agenda.

Whine about me later. Source it or get off the pot.

"Whine about me later. Source it or get off the pot."

Just who in the Hell made you god of FR.com? Why do you think you have the authority to tell someone to "Whine about me later. Source it or get off the pot."

What 4Freedom said is common knowledge to everyone who takes their blinders off.

New immigrants in the traditional major settlement states of New York, California, New Jersey, Florida, Texas and Illinois were running more than a quarter million immigrants higher each year than during the 1990s, the report said. It also said 19 states now receive more than double the rate of new immigrant settlements than before 2000.

The INS / Border Patrol apprehended 929,809 deportable aliens along the southwest border during FY 2002. From the above data, you can see that 1,012,429 of the total INS service wide apprehended aliens claimed to have illegally crossed the southwest border. On these two figures alone, we know that 82,620 illegal aliens slipped past the INS / Border Patrol.

The INS / Border Patrol estimates that they apprehend approximately 40% to 60% of the illegal aliens crossing into the United States, depending on who you speak with.

Independent immigration experts estimate that the INS / Border Patrol apprehends only 10% to 20% of the illegal aliens crossing into the United States.

From my personnel experience and knowledge, the independent experts estimates are more accurate.

For this presentation, I will use an apprehension ratio of 33%.

If the INS / Border Patrol has apprehended 929,809 illegal aliens along the south west border in fy 2002, then it is reasonable to assume that approximately 1,859,618 may have slipped pass the INS / Border Patrol.

This is an average of over 5,000 illegal aliens entering the United States undetected daily.

 

Here are some numbers to help put this into perspective:

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 United States in FY 2002 = 1.8 million +

 

On annual illegal immigration, the Center for Immigration Studies has extrapolated the latest Census data to show that Census data suggest that 700,000 to 800,000 new illegal aliens are settling each year. Now, far, far more than that enter illegally each year, but there is a lot of back and forth. The 700,000 to 800,000 represents illegals who truly settle in for at least a couple of year, and usually much, much longer.

MI, please re-read my post #26 and then PRND21's mis-characterization of what I said, in his post #42, in one of his typically dishonest attempts to win an argument.

He does this all the time.

As I said, border crossings by illegal aliens each year have almost doubled under Bush. You yourself said that apprehensions are up 100% and that Border Patrol Agents suspect they only catch 1 in 5.

Bush's decision to order our National Guard to stand down as well as his choices to head our Dept. of Immigration and his announcement of an amnesty, disquised as a guest worker program, are directly responsible.

Bush has done nothing to secure our borders. Illegal crossings are way up.
