Invasion USA
300,000 a month and rising.....

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/usatoday/20050223/ts_usatoday/despitenewtechnologyborderpatroloverwhelmed

Across an expanse of desert where nothing marks the Mexican border but a flimsy line of barbed wire, Border Patrol agent Mitch King flies his helicopter low to search for signs of illegal entry into the USA.

He spots footprints and tire tracks and hovers to get a better look. If the sandy impressions are fresh, he'll radio agents on the ground. But King's experienced eyes tell him these prints are at least a day or two old. Now, they serve only as evidence that more people have crossed the border illegally without getting caught.

Give me your huddled masses, yearning to breath free.
