TIJUANA, Mexico — In a flash the two men were over the double fence and into the San Diego parking lot.

As a waiting pickup truck sped them away, the smuggler who boosted them over the 15-foot walls scrambled toward Mexico.

Border Patrol agents could only tag Juan Garcia’s black sweatshirt with pepper spray bullets as he escaped back over the wall to Tijuana, red-eyed and coughing but $30 richer for a few seconds of daring labor.

It’s just another night along the most heavily guarded stretch of U.S.-Mexico frontier, where Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal crossers have increased 28 percent since 2005 — even as apprehensions have dropped nearly 40 percent border-wide over the same period. While illegal crossings are impossible to count, experts look to Border Patrol apprehensions as the best indicator of migrant traffic.

The Tijuana area’s surprising increase is a booming business for cut-rate daredevils like Garcia, who are willing to try almost anything to get their clients across.

“I’ll get you a bicycle, and I’ll throw you over the fence with the bike,â€

The arrogance of those illegally in this country who raped, molested women, children, senior citizens, murdered 71,000 innocent Americans, ruined millions more lives from identity theft and pedal poison on our streets to adults and children, take jobs from Americans, game our welfare, social security, health care and unemployment programs while Americans are denied assistance is beyond astounding. With Munoz (she and Murguia are two of the biggest racists) appointment to the Whitehouse "Mexican Junta" all laws and enforcement will cease and we will finally become the lawless, violent and savage third world cesspool from which those illegally fled.
