Mr. Speaker. is the vulnerability in the 2000mile border between us and Mexico. Down there. when you have that kind of travel of people flowing across the border. and I sit on the Immigration Subcommittee. and for now 31 years. I have heard continual testimony. nearly every week. that deals with how many people are coming across our border. And that number. the most consistent number that I come up with as I listen to this testimony from border patrol officers. highranking officials. it is their job to know this. and they will say that. well. that number is perhaps four million a year coming across our southern border. Four million. And they will testify that they stop 25 to 33 percent. a fourth to a third of those that seek to come across our borders. which means you have a positive opportunity. a chance. the odds are better that if you want to come into the United States illegally across the southern border. it is better that you make it that you dont.
