Here’s a Surprise - Placing Troops on the Border Works!
From KVOA News in Tucson:
Troops scare would-be illegal immigrants away from border, officials say“SAN LUIS RIO COLORADO, Mexico — The arrival of U.S. National Guard troops in Arizona has scared off illegal Mexican migrants along the border as a whole, significantly reducing crossings, according to U.S. and Mexican officials.
U.S. authorities said Monday that detentions along the U.S.-Mexico border have decreased by 21 percent, to 26,994, in the first 10 days of June, compared with 34,077 for the same period a year ago.”
Okay, so we now know what works and what doesn’t work. Time for some more troops down there…
