Border crossers rarely prosecuted despite tough talk
An Associated Press analysis finds 98 percent of illegal entrants arrested from Oct 2000 to Sept 2005 were not prosecuted. About 5.2 million were escorted back across the Rio Grande, while prosecutions rose to 30,848 in 2005, under 3 percent of arrests. Officials cite resource limits and selective enforcement.

Offenders Homeless Under Miami Causeway After Ban
Five sex offenders banned from near schools live under the Julia Tuttle Causeway, facing rats and exposure above Biscayne Bay. The men, including Javier Diaz, live outdoors as laws push offenders away from schools and parks, a situation described by officials as uncommon but real.
Paroled sex offenders shelter under Julia Tuttle Bridge
In Miami Dade County offenders live under the Julia Tuttle Causeway to comply with a 2,500 foot distance rule from places children gather. They stay from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. under the bridge as parole checks occur nightly. Some sleep on cardboard or pallets, with several weeks in residence and limited sleep quality. County officials and a commissioner discuss safety and enforcement concerns.
