Title: Call to action

This is a call to action for our leaders in Congress. They need to act now
and beef up our border security. The BP are doing the best they can and need
additional help in securing our borders. If they are having to apprehend over
700 people a day on the weekends, the U.S. is not doing our enough to
discourage people from crossing illegally.

Title: Apprehensions

Wow…more than 700 per day apprehended - and if only one-third are caught by
the BP’s own estimates that leaves another 1400 successfully coming over
daily. And that’s only here in the Tucson sector… Good job by the BP. Keep
up the good work. Catch who you can…without armed guards on the border
within eyesight of each other it is impossible to catch them all.
