Another math problem. 1969 miles of border. 1200 NG troops. Oops! Ain't working.
The Article states:
“On a typical day, nearly 1 million people cross from Mexico into the United States, according to U.S. government figures. Roughly 270,000 vehicles cross the Southwest border every 24 hours, along with about 57,000 truck, rail and sea containers. Sixty percent of the Mexican fruit and vegetables entering the United States comes through Nogales.”
That’s what I was thinking. 12 million+ in California alone. Probably more like 50 million+ illegals in the country. That number may be way high and I have no way of knowing, but my common sense tells me it’s no where near 12 million.
The article doesn’t say 1 million illegals crossing the border on a typical day. Read the article.
Also, I thought the 1,200 National Guard troops are all being sent to Texas. (That’s a typical Obama decision - Arizona reports a severe problem and Obama sends troops to Texas. What, he threw a dart at a map on the wall?)
Also 20,000 BP agents. 1200 more is a drop in the bucket.
Ping!
