So DPS ratcheted up police presence for about three weeks and they were able to take back the border? It's that easy?
And check out these strange numbers from the press release:
This increased patrol presence resulted in the following activity reported by law enforcement, which compares the three-week operation to the three weeks prior, in Cameron, Hidalgo, Kenedy, Starr and Willacy counties:
- 49 percent decrease in marijuana seizures
- 42 percent decrease in cocaine seizures
- 95 percent decrease in methamphetamine seizures
- 185 percent increase in U.S. currency seizures
- 67 percent increase in recovery of stolen vehicles
- 74 percent decrease in felony pursuits
So they found less marijuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine? Sounds like their presence was so obvious that the drug runners decided to wait them out or simply go through other Texas counties.
