And the Federal Government has the first responsibility to defend our shores. defend our borders. defend our national security. But they let the situation get out of hand to the point where there are 3 to 4 million illegals who poured across our southern border within the last year. The Border Patrol stopped 1.159.000. That would be for 2004. For 2005. that number would be about 1.188.000. Now. they adjudicated for deportation in 2004. 1.640 was all. And some of those out of that 1.2 million or so that they did stop. some of those were taken to the border and sent back through the turnstile. Some were released on their own recognizance because it wasnt a logistically feasible thing to do to send them back.
