Using a 3/8" Hose to Drain a Swamp
The good news is that ICE was twice as effective in 2007 than in the previous year:
Federal agents who track down fugitive illegal immigrants arrested more than 30,000 people nationally in fiscal year 2007, nearly double the previous year, officials said Tuesday. . . .
There were more than 30,408 arrests nationally in fiscal 2007, which ended Sept. 30, compared to 15,462 last year, ICE said.
The bad news is that at least half of the 10.3 million immigrants who have arrived since 2000 are illegal (about 5.6 million). That’s an average of 800,000 illegals per year.
Thus ICE is capturing less than 4 percent of the criminals coming into our country each year.
