There was a CNN report on this recently. I saw the video. Within hours of two individuals being arrested. they videoed the Border Patrol agent walking them. escorting them. back to the middle of the bridge that divides our countries and basically sending them off back to Mexico. The conclusion of the program was that these individuals. probably the next day. again commenced their effort to enter illegally. Since they werent recorded as being apprehended. the program indicated they probably successfully made it into the United States. The result has been a "revolving door" at the southern border. According to the Department of Homeland Security. between 20 and 30 percent of all illegal immigrants physically removed from the United States will return within the same year. So a third of them come back. we know. the same year. In 2004. of the 169.000 illegal immigrants removed from the United States. 65.000 returned illegally. In 2006. 37.000 out of 195.000 returned. In recent months. however. progress has been made.
