Apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border are down nearly 70 percent over the last 15 years. In the year 2000. we had 1.6 million apprehensions. This last year. 420.000. And even with this spike of refugees from Central America. we are not expected to get to half a million this year. The border. by the numbers. is as secure as it has ever been. If your concern is with the welfare of these children once they enter this country. then I say lets increase the amount that we are spending with Health and Human Services which. in this current bill. is a pittance against what is necessary and what should be required.
