Once that word spreads. a whole lot less people come because they dont want to go to the hassle and the risk of dying or being injured or whatever. and then not be released into our country. But it was so easy for so long that it happened so often. and we ended up with 12 million. As a matter of fact. in July of this year alone. our Border Patrol apprehended 66.000 illegal aliens along the Mexican border. a staggering number in 1 month. 66.000 illegal aliens. But. guess what? That was 31.000 fewer than the previous year in the same month. Word is getting out: we are not going to allow you to stay. dont come here illegally. Yet we are going to come up with. I believe before the end of this year. not only strengthened border security in a meaningful way. which is well under way with 6.000 National Guard troops. $21.2 billion has been spent on the southern border in the last 12 months. $21.2 billion. on everything from agents to detention beds. We now have 13.000 agents and 4.000 new detention beds. 1.500 new Border Patrol agents. for over 13.000 agents and 6.000 Guardsmen. That is 18.000 people on the southern border. catching these people by the minute and sending them home and getting the word out: you are not going to be released into this country. It is an effective deterrent.
