COMMENTS: Hold the Line in El Paso
NBC sent Mark Potter to El Paso, where the volume of visaless border crossings into the United States from Mexico has fallen since 1993 from 1,000 each day to fewer than 50. Potter gave credit for the reduction to Operation Hold the Line, the massive investment by the Border Patrol--"more agents, more cameras and the huge border fence." Immigration officials also pointed out that the "economic downturn--fewer jobs for immigrants--has also slowed illegal border traffic."
