U.S. Immigrant Total Exceeds 42 Million

Border Apprehensions Less Than DHS Claim
A report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) conceded that only 54 percent of the people illegally entering the U.S. from Mexico last year were caught. DHS has officially claimed that the capture rate was 81 percent. Rep. Martha McSally (R-AZ) strongly criticized DHS for discrepancy. She stated, "Given that DHS knows these facts, they need to stop pushing misleading measurements that don't show the full picture and create mistrust with the American public."
Mexico Assists Movement of Haitians to U.S.
An internal Homeland Security document reveals that Mexican officials are helping Haitian migrants reach the U.S. by issuing them 20-day transit documents. Six thousand Haitians arrived at the U.S. border during the past year, eighteen times the number who arrived during the previous year. To get there they pay large sums to smugglers. At the border they commonly claim asylum, even though they could have claimed it in Mexico or any of the other countries they traveled through. That strongly suggests that they are economic migrants rather people seeking a haven from persecution.

Court Turns Down Obama Appeal
The Supreme Court rejected the Obama Administration's request to re-hear the case involving President Obama's unilateral decree of amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.
