The US has vowed to stop every single illegal immigrant entering the country, by recruiting 1,000 extra agents and increasing the use of unmanned drones. "Our goal is to gain control of our borders," said Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. More than a million Mexicans are arrested every year as they try to enter the US to look for work. Experts said the migration trend would continue because of the huge wage gap between the US and Mexico. But Mr Chertoff insisted that once would-be immigrants learnt there was a high likelihood of being caught and sent home, the numbers trying to enter the US would fall. "I define control to mean that we will have an extremely high probability of detecting, responding to and interdicting illegal crossings of our borders," he said. Strained relations In August, the civilian group Minuteman Civil Defence Corps angered immigrant rights advocates by starting to conduct its own border patrols. Supporters of the Minuteman Project said they wanted to highlight what they saw as the federal government's failure to tackle the immigration issue. The group's activities has strained relations between the US and Mexico. Washington accuses its southern neighbour of not doing enough to stem the flow of illegal immigrants from across Latin America into the US, while Mexican officials condemn vigilante attacks near the border. President George W Bush has so far delayed the implementation of plans announced in 2004 for a guest-worker scheme which would legalise the presence of immigrants. About 10 million of Mexicans live in the US and more than four million are said to stay illegally.

Others cross to escape prosecution in Mexico for their crimes.
God is always good! ..and vice versa when they commit crimes here..
Yes, and then the Mexican government has the nerve to protect them from facing prosecution in the USA while demanding we give illegal aliens, legal status. Could be that they are using these immigrants to help destroy the USA as a proxy for China. Someone has to be paying them to have such a ridiculous policy.
God is always good! I was out at my local Walmart tonight(only because there is nowhere else to buy anything this late) and I noticed that we are getting more and more Brazilian illegals now. I heard that Mexico deports illegal Brazilians in their country, flies them back. Funny thing, isn't it, that Mexico does not want Brazilians crossing illegally into their country, yet they want the USA to open the borders and our arms and accept their people. Maybe Mexico is afraid that if we are getting too many illegals from countries other than Mexico, the US government might actually do the right thing and enforce our existing immigration laws? Hmmm, what are your thoughts about this one? I'll try to find the link to this story and post it later.
Secure our borders, save our nation!
This may be true but alot are coming here in hope of recieving amnesty if Bush gets his plans into works. Vote on this poll, please,"Should Employers Be listed Online For Hiring Illegals?" http://www.nbcsandie go.com/news/5245331/detail.html I found this link at http://alipac.us

Zogby Poll- "By a margin of 53% to 42%, Americans want Congress to impeach President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq."
