Kansas City Star -- October 21
Low-tech
effort on U. S. - Mexico border appears to be paying off
"Statistics suggest as much. Border
Patrol apprehensions in New Mexico in the last fiscal year, which
ended Sept. 30, are down about 44 percent from fiscal 2006, when
there were 73,518 apprehensions of illegal immigrants. Cocaine
seizures have dropped from 1,175 pounds in 2006 to 408 pounds
this year through Aug. 31."
