Over a Million Pounds of Narcotics Seized on Border in 9 Months

They are not just your poor, tired, hungry, yearning to be free & to work. That is the image pro-illegal advocates like to cast on illegal aliens. As the above headline demonstrates, more is coming into the country then just the po' illegals.

US Border Patrol agents seized more than 1,154,000 pounds of narcotics in the last nine months starting in October, according to a US Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection report.

Border Patrol agents seized over 1.1 million pounds of marijuana, nearly 8,000 pounds of cocaine and 157 pounds of heroin. The combined value of the narcotics is almost $1.2 billion, according to CBP officials. During the same time, Border Patrol Agents made 901,428 apprehensions...Almost one million in 9 months! Other-than-Mexican apprehensions totaled 89,059...meaning Chinese, Iranians, Syrians, you name it. That's an awful lot of "others" caught.

Let's not forget the convicts, the murders, the rapists, the thieves, the pedophiles & the diseased.

We wonder how many got through without being apprehended & how much narcotics got through without being seized. And we wonder how many terrorists in the "other than Mexican category" slipped through.

Thank Congress & the President for doing absolutely nothing to stop this onslaught of our southern border. They have failed the citizens of this country.
