We need to build a fence because not only is it a way to control the flow of humanity. which in the last year we have had perhaps 4 million illegals come across our southern border. I can tell you how many we stopped. We stopped 1.159.000. thanks to an effective border patrol. and I say effective given the manpower that they have. faced with the manpower that they are faced with. That is a fairly astonishing accomplishment to pick up 1.159.000. but we only adjudicated 1.640 to go back to their home country. The rest of them. some of them. perhaps 155.000 OTMs. other than Mexicans. were released because we did not have a deportation agreement with their home countries. So they just disappeared into Americas society. Then on top of that. the rest of them were released on the promise that they would return to their home countries.
