This Congress. the Senate. is poised to pass the eighth amnesty in 20 years. And the numbers in this country have grown and grown and grown and no one really knows how many. But we have testimony from the Border Patrol. and I agree with this number. and the President made it in his speech last night. that they turned back more than 6 million Illegal crossers at the border since he came into office 51/2 years ago. The numbers that I know are numbers for 2004. The Border Patrol intercepted on our southern border 1.159 million and presumably turned back 1.159 million. They only adjudicated for deportation 1.640. That would be a fact. For 2005 the statistical number is 1.188 million that were intercepted at the border. collared at the border. I say. and turned back. I do not know the number that actually were adjudicated for deportation. But the Border Patrol also testified. Mr. Speaker. that they stopped onefourth to onethird of the illegal entrants into the United States.
