Border Patrol: 1.4 million entered the US illegally in 2010
Border Patrol: 1.4 million entered the U.S. illegally in 2010…press ignores

On March 9, Judicial Watch announced the contents of several new U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. The documents detail the number of apprehensions made at the U.S./Mexican border in FY 2010.
According to the report, U.S. Border Patrol agents took into custody 463,382 individuals who crossed the border illegally in FY2010, including 8,905 smugglers.
The Border Patrol estimates that for every illegal alien they capture crossing the border, three more do so without being detected.
That translates into 1,390,146 illegal aliens who successfully entered the U.S. illegally last year.
This information is rather contradictory to current Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet Napolitano’s claim, that there are roughly 11 million illegal aliens in the U.S.
Napolitano also constantly claims that the number of those crossing the border has dropped dramatically.
So, in one year…we received more than 10 percent of the total, current illegal alien population, in a ‘down’ year?
That aside, the fact that 1.4 million illegal aliens entered this country in one year is staggering. The fact that this monumental disclosure (albeit a forced one) received absolutely no press coverage is outrageous.
If the majority of Americans are ever informed as to the actual number of foreign nationals living and working in this country illegally—they will see unchecked illegal immigration for what it truly is…the surrender of their nation to another.
