What is the ratio of successful illegal crossings for every one arrest? Even if it is a 1 to 1 ratio, that's over 17.3 million using the lowest year's arrest figures! Yet there are only 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States! I'm guessing that 10 or 20 to 1 is more realistic, meaning there have been 170 to 340 million illegal crossings since 1975! Who needs a fence!

Sadly, I'm afraid this is the least of the problems facing our Country.

Due more likely to the fact that more BP agents don’t want to go to jail for doing their jobs.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that because our economy is down, there’s less to steal?

A guest on Fox News this morning stated that Obama, Pelosie, and Reed pulled a House provision that would have required that job applicants created by the stimulus bill would need to be “ID Checked” on a federal database to verify immigration status. “Millions of tax dollars will be going to hire illegal immigrants!”

Sophisticated tunnels and submarines now being used.

Oh wait those modes are for drug trafficking not human traffic.

Most likely this is due to the economy. They’re not crossing over because there aren’t any jobs for them here.

Last I read, the official estimate was 1 in 3, and the unofficial (agents) estimate was 1 in 10.

Arrests may be down, but with friends like Nancy Pelosi things are looking up for them.

Pelosi is Unamerican.
