[quote=bearishgurl]Try to observe the percentage of license plates of parked cars which have Baja, CA license plates. (Of course, this does not account for all the Mexican students dropped off and picked up daily or who ride the trolley and bus from and to the the border every day, but it’s a start.) Until you see it with your own eyes and hear it with your own ears, you won’t be able to truly understand the depth and breadth of the problem. [/quote]

BG, your personal experience is clearly a powerful force in influencing your opinions, but it is not a valid substitute for data, for obvious reasons. You chose to cite a very specific number – 25% – and you stated that we are spending “billions” on this problem. Please cite any data or research at all that supports your claims. Thank you.
