#1 Maybe there are "Shark in the Water" and that is why no bodies are washing up on shore from the failed attempts to cross by water ? Just a thought.

#4 This is a new frontier for illegal immigrants entering the United States In growing numbers, migrants are gambling their lives at sea as land crossings become even more arduous authorities say, heightened enforcement on land, and a bigger fence, is making the offshore route more attractive.

Yet another harrowing tale of desperation brought to you by one of Americas most creative writers - Elliot Spagat. Fans familiar with Spagats previous narratives regarding oppressed migrants and the harrasment they encounter will not be disappointed. But his latest yarn has a new twist. Rather then the unrelenting heat of the desert Elliots latest saga is set on the unforgiving high seas. As per usual, for maximum enjoymemt the reader is encouaged to suspend logic and reality. For instance, Spagats insinuation that this is a new or increasing phenomena is belied by his own admission that Some arrests at sea may be a result of heightened enforcement. And just because this particular smuggling route has operated for over a century shouldnt dissuade the reader from consuming this fable as somehow new and exciting.
