MUST READ: The Immigration Bill as it stands now, WILL NOT secure the Border

The 90 percent apprehension goal set by Senate and House bills seeking to rein in illegal immigration while establishing a path to citizenship for those crossing into the U.S. from Mexico is based on fuzzy math, according to critics. 
The goal, which is supposed to give teeth to legislation some view as amnesty, would depend on a Department of Homeland Security formula for determining the success rate of catching illegal border crossers. That formula requires visual or physical evidence for determining someone got past the border patrol, evidence that simply isn’t left behind in most cases. The result, say critics, is a wildly exaggerated success rate for catching illegal border crossers.
“To calculate it, border patrol officers go out and look for physical evidence of crossings… you know, ‘I saw this person cross and I didn't get him.’ Or, ‘I saw footprints in the sand,’” John Whitley, an economist who analyzed such statistics while he served as the director of the DHS’s Program Analysis & Evaluation department under President Bush, told FoxNews.com. 
The problem is that, no matter how hard border patrol officers try to find physical evidence of successful illegal crossings, they can’t find everything.
Wait until you read this, you better sit down:
Using that method, Department of Homeland Security data already indicate a border security effectiveness rate of 84 percent -- close to the 90 percent target.

So let me get this straight. We're tripping over illegals NOW and the feds are telling us that they have an 84% success rate? So only 16% of illegals are getting through NOW.

The NEW BILL is using THE SAME METHOD and only asking them for a 90% apprehension rate for them to consider the border successfully secure?

THIS IS BULL SHIT! If this gets out, NO ONE will want this bill....NO ONE!

As difficult as it is to navigate the treacherous terrain and heat along much of the border, there is absolutely no excuse for an 84-90% success rate. 44 years ago, we put a man on the moon, yet we can't secure the border? What a crock.

The 84% and formula they use is Bull Shit.

There isn't that many people in Mexico for 16% to account for the illegals here.
