The National Guard and the border

It appears that the mere presence of NG troops installing fences and building roads is enough to deter illegal crossers. Detentions were off 21 Percent along the border in a 10-day period. Keep this in mind: the Border Patrol figures they catch 1 in 4 illegal crossers. So, if they caught 27,000 crossers in 10 days, that means roughly 81,000 came across during that same time. That's a football stadium's worth of illegals every 10 days. So, during the year, we have 36 full football stadiums of illegals coming across the border.

Do you still think we don't have a problem?
