Nobody took them down to the turnstile and saw to it that they went through and were put in airplanes and flew back into Mexico City and put them on a bus and took them to their hometown and did so because it was further for them to come back here to the United States. You know. I think that is a questionable policy. and I do not know if it is very effective on the dollar. but we did some of those things. And yet the Border Patrol has testified that they stop perhaps onefourth. or. maybe on a good day. a third of the illegal entrants. So that will take that 1.159.000 that came in and it takes that number up to about 4 million. So 2 to 3 million. if you do your math. that came into the United States unobstructed. and reasonably thinking that most will stay here.
