combination of more agents and a
crackdown on smugglers.
"If things keep going this way, we
project close to 50,000 apprehensions by
the end of July," Don Camerson, chief
agent for the Chula Vista section, said
yesterday. Chula Vista is the corridor
used most often by Mexicans trying to

A recent crackdown on alien
smugglers by Mexican authorities has
led to more arrests on the American NOW SHOWING
side of the border, Camerson said,
"because the people (aliens) are
coming across unaided, without the
smugglers as guides."
CAMERON SAID more manpower $j
