The project was conceived by Mao Zedong in 1952. The State Council approved the project in December 2002 after nearly half a century of debate.

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said the campaign underscored the government's pledge that U.S. borders were not open to illegal immigration "and that if you enter the United States illegally, we will send you back".
"We are focusing on the pocketbooks of these human smugglers, including their money laundering activities in the United States – working with our Mexican and Central American partners to track, interdict, and seize the money flowing through Mexico and Central America."
Johnson said the government sent extra personnel to Texas' Rio Grande Valley in late June to combat human smuggling operations on the southwest U.S. border.
"Less than a month into this operation, 192 smugglers and their associates have already been arrested on criminal charges, more than 501 undocumented immigrants have been taken into custody and more than $625 http://www.uashoesforsale.com/under-armour-ua-stephen-curry-1-mid-men-s-white-black-clearance.html ,000 in illicit profits have been seized from 288 bank accounts held by human smuggling and drug trafficking organizations," the secretary said.
Immigration enforcement authorities, it said, "will continue to prioritise cases involving smuggling or transporting of undocumented individuals, including minors, into the United States."
