Illegal Immigration Watch: Mexican Border Crossings Reduced Since National Guard Troops Deployed

Mexican immigrants carrying bottles of water attempt to cross the Mexico-US border illegally from Sasabe, in the state of Sonora into the Arizona desert in the United States, April 2006. The United States deployed the first wave of up to 6,000 National Guard troops along its border with Mexico as it cracks down on illegal immigration, officers said.

The arrival of U.S. National Guard troops in Arizona has scared off illegal Mexican migrants along the border as a whole, significantly reducing crossings, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.

U.S. authorities said Monday that detentions along the U.S.-Mexico border have decreased by 21 percent, to 26,994, in the first 10 days of June, compared with 34,077 for the same period a year ago.

Along the Arizona border, once the busiest crossing spot, detentions have dropped 23 percent, according to the U.S. Border Patrol.

The desert region’s blistering June temperatures typically drive down the number of migrants, but not so drastically, said Mario Martinez, a spokesman with the U.S. Border Patrol in Washington.

The 55 soldiers who arrived June 3 are the first of some 6,000 troops to be gradually dispatched all along the border as part of President Bush’s plan to stem illegal immigration to the United States.

It is about DAMN time. This border needs to be secured and secured NOW.

Why wasn’t this done six years ago? Because…….

President Bush does not favor border security FIRST but HE MUST enforce the existing immigration laws and the will of the voters.

Stay tuned to see if this reduction in crossing continues or the illegal alien invasion simply moves to a different location.
