Last year the number soared to 427.000. This year is already a horror show. In April 70.000 undocumented aliens were apprehended. The Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates that for every illegal alien that Is caught. another two or three make it through. Assuming those figures are accurate. that means that as many as 200.000 undocumented aliens are invading our country each month in the San Diego area. Dealing with statistics such as these the potential for drug trafficking and terrorism can hardly be overestimated. Most of the "illegals" are Mexican but last year there were 10.000 nationals from 72 countries who tried to enter tile U.S. at the San Diego border area without documentation.
