Only in Washington

"The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 8 percent fewer illegal immigrants last fiscal year than the year before, reversing a two-year increase in the historically volatile benchmark, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff announced yesterday."- Washington Post

Well ,that seems like good news until you look at some of the other figures. That even though the apprehensions of illegal border crossers (other than Mexicans) had dropped 35% they still caught 108,026 people. Which makes one wonder how many they did not catch. Look here to see a perfect example of what a circus the border is.
