Narrative:
Everyday occurrence. Current procedures produce this airspace violation a multitude of times everyday. IFR jet arrivals (250kts and greater) destined for bct from the northwest enter the pbi airspace on the tarty arrival. These aircraft barely get 1-1/2 miles from the delivering sector's (ZMA) boundary before they become 1-1/2 miles from the adjacent airspace that the 'I' controller has to deliver them to. They are actually in the 'I' scope's airspace for 4-5 total miles and about 45 seconds worth of time. In that minor window the 'I' controller has to issue a descent clearance to the aircraft and have him successfully handed off and frequency changes to the next sector ('F' scope). On many occasions the aircraft never even gets a comfortable 1-1/2 miles from the ZMA boundary before it enters the 'F' scope airspace. This occurs 10-20 times a day; every day; for the past several years; with no attempt by the facility management to address or fix the problem.airspace change or arrival route change.

Title: PBI TRACON Controller describes a problem with an aircraft route that is in a sector's airspace only for a short time and then needs to be handed off; descended and shipped to another sector while violating another sector's airspace.
