Half of All Illegal Entries Into U.S. in 2010 Came Through One Sector of AZ Border, Says Border Patrol
Approximately “half of all illegal entries” into the United States and “half of all of the marijuana smuggled into the United States” in fiscal 2010 occurred in the Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, which takes up only a part of the Arizona-Mexico border, according to U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) Commissioner Alan Bersin.
And more than two-thirds of the Tucson Sector itself is under “effective control,” according to CBP, which by definition means that the government can “reasonably ensure” that illegal entries are intercepted there.
