Illegal Immigrants caught

In the news the other week I heard a story that three top executives were caught using illegal immigrants in the U.S. These men were part of a cleaning company which "Dave and Busters" were using. 63 raids were carried out in 17 states including Pennsylvania. Has anyone ever thought how many illegal immigrants are caught every year versus how many come across the Mexican-U.S. border each year?

In 2005 the federal government deported an amazing 200,000 illegal immigrants where as approximately 500,000 come in and stay illegally. More than 100,00 illegal immigrants caught in 2005 were able to "slip" through the officials hands. In researching the above question many websites are often estimating these numbers so they are not exact but pretty close. It is estimated that there is between 11 million and 13 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. as of last year.

I just can't get over these astounding numbers.

I read an article with TribTotal Media and the headline was "Illegal immigrants face crackdown in Pennsylvania". This article was written in July of 2006. This story had happened in Pittsburgh PA. A Guatemalan farm worker was caught with 15 illegal immigrants inside of a van. Diego-Pablo was also caught with another Mexican named Juan-Manuel. Both of these men were caught before. Diego has been caught at another time and sent back to Mexico and Juan has been caught 10 different times and sent back each time. How are these men getting away with coming back to this country? This is causing major tax payer money and the government isn't doing much about it. The only way these men and others like them are being caught either at local or state road check points.
