The Army is keeping the numbers down so the Minutemen will not be able to show the world just how bad this really is.

I think it is a "me too" pr stunt.

This way the effectivness of the Minutement will be "explained away" by the army's "assistance".

Vincente Fox might as well put the cliche bannana in his ear and claim that it keeps aligators off the city streets of mexico.

If anything the Army is directing illegals away to safer entrance points.

Yes...that's why Gilchrest needed to publicly declare the MMP a success and to say why...

If we had left it up to the press with them knowing the actual numbers of crossers and apprehensions, well...

In very rough figures, apprehensions went from 700/day in March to 100/day in April...if that many...in this sector. and April is traditionally a busier month for crossings.
