I am telling you. you cant say that today. You cant say that every person that crosses that border comes to work. That border patrolman told me a tale that will chill your soul. In the El Paso sector in December. they stopped 15 illegal immigrants. all of whom claimed to be from Mexico. all of whom voluntarily agreed to return. So they fingerprinted them and processed them and took them back to Mexico. They ran those fingerprints through. I think it Is NCI or whatever it is that they use with the Border Patrol. and about five of those finger prints had previously been recorded by the United States Government. Those prints came from a cave in Afghanistan. Now those were not people coming across our border from Mexico to get a job.
