Azazello1313 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 NY Times SAN LUIS RÍO COLORADO, Mexico — For 10 years, Eduardo Valenzuela has been crossing the border illegally near Yuma, Ariz., trekking over desert scrub and hopping a freight train to get back to his job with a construction company in Phoenix. The clandestine trip has become an annual ritual for him, as he goes home each winter to see his children. “It’s become much more difficult,” Mr. Valenzuela said, echoing the comments of dozens of other migrants. “Before, you just arrived here and then you walked a little and got the train. You used to see a border patrol agent every 10 kilometers. Now you see four of them where there was one. Think of it.” All along the border, there are signs that the measures the Border Patrol and other federal agencies have taken over the last year, from erecting new barriers to posting 6,000 National Guardsmen as armed sentinels, are beginning to slow the flow of illegal immigrants.

Afterwards we can send Canada a bill for us providing their defense and allowing them to free up the resources it requires to be that smug.

AtomicCEO Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 “It’s become much more difficult" Correct me if I'm wrong... but the NYT didn't have to go to Mexico to get this interview. Not difficult enough, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
