Non-Mexicans arrested at U.S. border nearly doubled
WASHINGTON, DC - The number of people from countries other
than Mexico arrested trying to cross the U.S. southern
border has almost doubled
this year, the head of the U.S. border patrol told the U.S. Congress on Tuesday.
David Aguilar told the House of Representatives appropriations subcommittee on
homeland security the United States was continuing to experience a rising influx
of what he termed OTMs -- other than Mexicans -- trying to enter the country
illegally.
"Apprehensions are running at a rate of 175 percent for fiscal year 2005 over FY
2004's record number of OTM apprehensions on the southwest border," Aguilar
said. In all, the border patrol has detained 919,000
illegal immigrants so far
this year, of whom 119,000 were non-Mexicans. The largest single number -- over
12,000 -- came from Brazil.
U.S. officials believe the increase stems from non-Mexican
illegal immigrants
knowing they will be released even if they are caught
crossing the border.
Mexicans caught by U.S. border patrols trying to enter the country illegally are
usually immediately returned to their native land. Many simply wait a day and
then try to sneak into the country again.
But Mexico accepts only Mexicans, so any non-Mexicans are checked against
government watch lists as a potential security or criminal threat.
If their names do not appear, they are normally released on their own
recognizance and told to appear at a deportation hearing often months in the
future. Some 85 percent fail to show up for the hearing and are never seen
again.
