Agency's illegal immigrant apprehensions and drug seizures continue to rise

Sierra Vista Herald, Sierra Vista Arizona ^ | 01/01/05 | GENTRY BRASWELL

"For fiscal year 2004, there were 1,139,282 total apprehensions by Border Patrol on the southwest border and 1,160,395 nationwide"

---

So that means only 21,113 arrest outside of the southwest border in 2004!

If the invaders get past the border area they are virtually home free, and need not worry about being apprehended or deported at all.
That needs to change ASAP, they should never be able to become comfortable while flaunting our laws.

"There are an estimated 80,000 criminal illegal aliens in the country, which are people who have committed crimes in the United States and are due for deportation but remain at large. An estimated 4,000 of those criminal illegal aliens are from countries that support terrorism."

It called for 10,000 additional BP agents and 2,000 more ICE agents over the next five years -- contingent on availability of funding and no funding was provided.

Our government at work... pretend something is being done, then do nothing. Keeping the sheeple at bay.

I think they say in Texas "all hat and no cattle". Reminds me of the guy in the WH.

Thank you president Bush. Keep up the speeches encouraging illegal immigration

His last speech was literally a broadcasted invitation for millions more to pour in. I am a little surprised that it wasn't done in both English and Spanish.

Marine inspector; Does the loss of these are seasoned officers reduce the effectiveness of other areas?

Of course!

The other fact they don't tell you, is the increase on the Northern border came from seasoned agents from the Southern border.

Its 3 card Monty.

[Marine Inspector]

24,000 known felons being ID'd and processed in the last three months...

Just think of how many got through over the past years.

[SandRat]

Nope, not that I recall.

"Imagine that, enforce the law against third TURD world anarchy and property values go up, someone tell the politicians this." There that's better.

[SandRat]

So write, call, email, fedex, whatever you Congress-critters and get your friends family and neighbors to do the same. We've been saying this for a long time on FR especially those of us on the Forward Edge of the Battle Area, the border with Mexico.

They deserve a raise. Arizona is the model for what ALL states should be doing.

Yes those guys out there on the ground do deserve a raise. I talk to them regularly, they agree with me that they are sent out to do their job with their hands tied behind their back.

If Arizona is the model, we are in trouble, there are still a lot more get away, than get caught.

The AZ program I was referring to is Prop200 that stops all welfare and services to illegals.

Does anyone have a list of organizations that help to catch, apprehend and prosecute the illegals?
(no I am serious wishful thinking about catch and apprehend)

I mean like:
ALIPAC
Report Illegals

Groups like that and also the ones who email and fax Senators for you.

Lets get a list of all groups, organizations and post it, lets stop these turd (third world country) illegals .
