Ecuador #1 in Illegal Immigration

The number of Ecuadorians illegally entering the US by

sea has surpassed the number of Cuban boat people or illegal Hatian immigrants,

according to a recent study by the US Embassy in Quito, Ecuador. The

source of the problem is that the Ecuadorian government is not funding

any resources to stop this wave of emigration, as they do not

give it priority in their budget and military planning.

The Ecuadorian immigrants have thus become protagonists of the largest

wave of maritime ilegal immigration in modern history, according to the

Embassy.
