The government has a new approach to border enforcement. Instead of just focusing on people who are entering the country illegally, the Los Angeles Times says federal agents are also arresting undocumented foreigners who are trying to leave the United States.

"The illegal immigrants they apprehend are typically turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol for processing," according to the paper. "Unless they have serious criminal records or numerous immigration violations, most are returned to Mexico within a few hours."
