First, the nature of the incidents is very different from the popular narrative. It is not recognized that well over 95% of these incidents take place between 10pm and 5am, in the darkest hours of the night. Further, the profile of those involved, or to be exact, the activity that is involved, is very different from illegal immigrants, seasonal or otherwise. The almost daily toll of BSF men with deep gash injuries, sometimes losing an arm or a hand, is also carefully documented and recorded on our side. You also may ask: "What can be done to reduce such incidents on the border?"
