Common Sense

Hmmm…It looks as if the common sense arguments presented by those of us that favor more stringent border control measures are now buttressed by hard cold facts.
“Border Patrol agents have said another factor contributing to the rise in illegal alien arrests is President Bush’s plans to change immigration laws. Officials reported a 15 percent increase in the use of fraudulent documents at the world’s busiest land border crossing.
Immigration-reform groups point to the finding at the San Ysidro border crossing with alarm – suggesting that putting what some see as an amnesty program on the table represents an invitation for more illegal immigration.
More than half of those caught using phony documents say the president’s offer of de facto amnesty motivated them to attempt to sneak into the United States, the report added.”
