Well. on that point. it reminds me also that not more than 60 percent. actually a little bit less of the illegal entry into our country. is from the southern border. Over 40 percent is from other areas. In the Pacific. for instance. you have a high rate of Asiatic and Philippine illegal entries. Nobody talks about that. You have a high rate on the eastern and on the Canadian border. Nobody talks about that. Everybody thinks that 100 percent of the illegal flow is coming from the Mexican border and that it must be Mexican illegals. when the truth is that because of the direct result of some of our policies in such Central American countries as El Salvador.
