Riding Shotgun with the Border Patrol

I took a trip to the San Diego Sector Border Patrol for a ride along at America’s Southern border. What I learned and saw is documented in this article.
Drug cartels and immigrant smugglers plague the southern border of the United States; but those who might plan or carry out terrorist attacks on the U.S. may also be infiltrating our country through our borders and our coastline as well. The U.S. Border Patrol has been stepping up their efforts to secure the border; however, hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens still manage to slip through each year.
Many new threats are appearing such as tunnels and maritime incursions. Even with added infrastructure, technology and personnel along the southern border, smugglers have found ways to continue their careers while successfully threatening our national security. Hundreds of patches where fencing has been cut through showed that even fences don’t stop border crossers anymore.
In fiscal year 2009 the United States Border Patrol apprehended about 556,000 illegal aliens - roughly 1,500 a day. And those are only the one's who were caught. “Official Border Patrol statistics are that 1 in 5 illegal aliens are apprehended and arrested,â€In GOD We Trust
