Too many to count. The daily apprehension rate is kept by the supervisors. Then the ones we come across once we go home and go out and about. Living and working around the Border Patrol is quite interesting.

Do you wanna hear about the guy in the hoopty with no front license plate that just about t-boned my car at a 4-way stop?
That was enough of a near-death experience at the hands of an illegal alien to get me interested in this issue...missed me by about 2 feet, and that's 'cause I jumped lanes to get away from him. At some point you have to say that what's gone on is not working, and change needs to be made. I would rather see that sooner, than later. As far as I know, that guy's still driving around out there...maybe he lives on YOUR street, now...

use to live in tx so yeah i see a few of them a day. needless to say they aren't all bad. I use to think they were cause of all the hype i heard about how they abuse the healthcare and all that stuff but then one day while i was on my way home from work and waiting at the bus stop and this white homeless guy came up to me and asked for money. I don't know if he was drunk or drugged up or both but he got real mean with me when i told him i didn't have any money on me. needless to say got pretty scared cause the bus stop was in an isolated area and it was around 5 in the afternoon and about to get dark so yeah thought the guy was gonna give me a beat down. but luckily for me these mexican guys showed up and scared him off,didn't notice at the moment cause i was so scared that they were landscapers cause they had their company's shirt on. And they were illegal because they barely knew english.Since i look white they assumed i was white and didn't know spanish so they tried to explain to me that it was ok and one of them stayed with me till the bus showed. so from that day on i learned not to judge on the legal or illegal status of an individual but on the character of that person. and i guess that's why i also decided to turn pro illegal. yeah i know there are bad illegals but there are also bad american citizens yet it seems everyone places the term "bad" with legal status. and that is not right. never had a chance to thank those guys cause i was too scared to that day but whenever i meet someone who i see is in trouble because they don't know the language and needs translation services i take the time to help them out,just like those guys took the time for me.

Well, considering I live on the largest border city in the US, quite a bit! But then again, I don't go around asking if they are legal or illegal!

I go to Home Depot and a ranch supplier store about every other day to order supplies for my ranch.So I encounter many seeking work .I live in AZ and we are over run with thousands coming across our border.So I can only say countless and yes I can tell the difference in them.I speak Spanish and they don't hesitate to tell me .Wonder why ?Could it be the big Chevy duly with my ranches name on it ?

i live in orange county, california. when i was in high school, caucasians were the minority, hispanics the majority, at over 50%. i see quite a few people of hispanic origin every single day.
however, there's no way to say if they're here legally or not without questioning. in any case, whether they are here illegally or not matters absolutely nothing to me. i see people as humans and individuals. how they got here isn't important.
that's not to say i'm pro-illegal-immigration. i AM against illegal immigration, but i sympathize with immigrants on a personal level. they are simply trying to carve out a better life for themselves and their families, since they cannot do so in their own countries.

Probably more than I can count. Sometimes it's tempting to walk up to one of the houses about a mile from mine that are obvious residences for illegals and ask to see all their green cards, just so I can see how many can fit through a back window LOL!

That I know of? At least three. And that's not counting the ones i called the border patrol on when I saw them crossing. There were too many of those people to count. They seem to have gotten them all though. Think I'll send the Border Patrol a tin of cookies this Christmas......

I don't get out much anymore, maybe an hour a day, so I see about 70 to a 100 a day. I know they're illegal because they say, Damme un beso, damme dinero, damme damme, damme todo!
