Stats show surge in illegal immigrant border traffic despite Napolitano claims

Newly released arrest numbers show a significant increase in illegal immigrants crossing along the southwest border, despite claims as recently as Thursday by Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano that the border is more secure.

"I can tell you having worked that border for 20 years, it is more secure now than it has ever been. Illegal apprehensions are at 40-year lows," Napolitano told reporters this week in Houston.

But figures released Thursday by Customs and Border Protection to Fox News tell a different story.

Arrests are actually up 13 percent compared with the same time last year. The number was 170,223 in 2012, and is 192,298 this year.

Imagine that... being lied to by another member of Obama's administration.  This is getting to be a daily occurrence.

I know, they're here because of the "booming" economic recovery we're experiencing.

Getting in line for the forth coming amnesty scam.

They said the increase in people coming from central America is up 93%... just this year alone, and they were only talking about Texas. 
Texas was talking about setting up a tent city to hold them.  And they are only catching about 37% of them.   :mad:
