I have to wonder, for every one that is caught, how many aren't?
I sometimes wonder.... how is it that for decades, despite the intermittent "surges".... how is it possible that the number of illegal aliens in the United States is 11 to 13 million? Years and years and decades and decades and countless border crossings.... but the number stays the same. Hhhmmm.
More are going home than coming in. Especially in regard to Mexicans.
As a standard procedure, agents processed the individuals and checked their identities against numerous law enforcement and national security related databases. Record checks revealed no derogatory information about the individuals. The individuals are currently in Federal custody while they await the outcome of their immigration cases.
“One of them had a sh*t load of hits from a bunch of places he’s been. He had entered and exited numerous countries that were not in his route to the U.S. This raises red flags because people leaving a foreign country to come here usually take the quickest route, but one of them did not,” said one of the sources.

APNEWSBREAK: US RELEASES HAITIANS COMING FROM MEXICO
I just don't understand why so many in our country are against protecting our borders. It's just makes sense.
because so many of the democrats who believe they are above the law think it won't be criminals coming over but good wholesome people. They have lost sight of reality.
And the Republicans have a firm grasp on reality? Let's build a wall, that will mainly enrich manufacturers of ladders and be an eminent domain nightmare and be incredibly ugly. It will just create better tunnels. Then, to pay for it, we tax moneygrams or put a 35% tarrif on imported Mexican goods= really hurting the economy of an ally.
No one has stopped to think it might be to keep us in?

Because we have this silly thing called the constitution that calls for punishments that fit the crime.
Replied to the wrong person, I know your comment was agreeing with this sentiment.

Why can't we just have border patrol that is "shoot to kill if you cross this border unauthorized"...
Charming.
Well, a response from a bleeding heart liberal like you is not surprising...

I lived on the border. I've heard the Shoot to Kill sentiment many times.
I went to school with a girl who escaped East Berlin with her family, running across a field at night, with guards shooting randomly in the dark. Her family made it. Many did not.
Who are we?

You need to show some proof of that statement. But that would be hard to do. While those that leave are counted as they drive across the border, those that sneak across are hardly counted--unless you want to use Obama's numbers that the border patrol say are false by about 50%.
