Now we have a situation where 4 million people a year pour across our southern border. Four million. And I went down there and repeated what the Border Patrol tells me here in hearings. that they stop perhaps 25 to 33 percent. a fourth to a third of the illegal border crossers. And they are not very free about talking about what percentage of drugs they interdict coming down there. They will talk about the tonnage. but not the percentage. They say 25 to 33 percent of the border crossers they stop. And I say that to the Border Patrol people who are down there sitting in a nice quiet place where they do not have to worry about a superior listening in on them. And some of them laughed when I said. You are stopping 25 percent. maybe 33 percent?
