Border Patrol agents with the Casa Grande Station nabbed a large group of undocumented immigrants on Friday.

Agents were on patrol near the village of Kaka, on the Tohono O'Odham Indian Reservation, when they discovered dozens of suspicious footprints in the sand.

They tracked the footprints, which led them to 53 Mexican nationals who said they'd crossed the border several days earlier.

Despite the large bust, Border Patrol officials with the Tucson Sector -- which oversees the Casa Grande Station -- say the apprehension of undocumented immigrants is down 31-percent from this time last year.

Between October 2008 and April 2009, agents in the Tucson Sector have arrested more than 140,000 people who were in the country illegally.

How do they know, when they have no idea how many got away? I worked in a store, that had classes on selling ladies the most ugliest things you've ever seen. They went by sales.....forgetting that in 99% of the cases....it was days later the items were returned. You can't measure success by only looking at half the picture.
