Mr. President. here is a story: Twenty Brazilians glided across the Rio Grande in rubber rafts propelled by Mexican smugglers who leaned forward and breaststroked through the gentle current. Once on the U.S. side. the Brazilians scrambled ashore and started looking for the Border Patrol. Their quick and wellrehearsed surrender was part of a growing trend that is demoralizing the Border Patrol and beckoning a rising number of illegal immigrants from countries beyond Mexico. "We used to chase them. now theyre chasing us." Border Patrol Agent Gus Balderas said as he frisked the Brazilians. Mr. President. we have to provide sufficient facilities.
