In fact those numbers are surprising: they are sharply down, according to the Border Patrol—by more than sixty per cent since 2000, to five hundred and fifty thousand apprehensions last year, the lowest figure in thirty-five years.

I will NOT let the lies and distortions from the fringe stand.

Apprehension numbers tend to go down when the economy sucks and when BP/ICE are told not to apprehend them.

Prove it that the BP were told not to apprehend. That statement is a load of *******s. I disproved with facts and links that the statement the border is rampant with illegal crossings is false, fear mongering. You prove that the BP was ordered to stand down in illegal apprehension at the border. Especially since president Obama has more than doubled the size of the Border Patrol since his election.
