CBP statistics obtained previously by Judicial Watch confirmed 25&nbsp; incursions in Fiscal Year 2007. Judicial Watch has documented 226&nbsp; Mexican Government incursions between 1996 and 2005.&nbsp;CBP also records the number of tunnels discovered along the border&nbsp; which are allegedly used for smuggling and human trafficking. In 2008&nbsp; alone, CBP discovered 25 of these tunnels. Overall, between 1990 and&nbsp; March 2009, CBP discovered 103 tunnels along U.S. borders — one along&nbsp; the U.S border with Canada and 102 along the U.S. border with Mexico.</blockquote>
