Whatever the reason, I'm glad the trend has changed.

Answer 1

Hooray for our border patrol heroes! Boo to those like Mayor Newsom in San Francisco with their lousy sanctuary cities!

I hope all the criminals choose to obey our laws and leave.

Answer 2

Its because theyve all blow themselves up!

Answer 3

the illegals should not let the door hit them on the butt as they leave!

Answer 4

Yes I do believe it will continue.  OUr unemployment is rising, and there are less jobs, while Mexico's economy is increasing.  Increasing raids, have scared some back as well.    

Answer 5

Media Fluff like someone else called it. They want you to feel good about the plans, media coverage and tax dollars spent on this issue.  

Answer 6

Could it be that inforcing the law increases compliance? Whoda thunk?

Answer 7

The answer, or what they give to be the reason, was in the article...

Thanks for playing!

Answer 8

Because most of them are already here.  Not to mention how many that are born here and are considered American citizens.

Answer 9

gov. crackdowns, something the gov. is actually good for!  hey sweetie thanx for keeping an eye on this!!!

Answer 10

Hopefully it's because of tighter security. Our government needs to listen to the will of the people. We don't want the illegals here!

I've read sob stories about where mother says might have to return to Mexico since she can't find work and then her children won't have medical insurance - boohoo, she's not suppose to be here and we shouldn't be paying for her children WHO AREN'T CITIZENS!

Answer 11

I certainly hope it continues. I think the reason it's happening is that they're realizing it's a no win situation for them,Americans have spoken and we're not taking it.

Answer 12

good that means it will take less time to deport those that are here

Answer 13

People are MAD! We are sick of illegal alien criminals taking our jobs and our identities. We have loudly told congress that we don't want amnesty. Hopefully this trend will continue.

McCain talks about border security. Obama is flat out amnesty and that's wrong!

Answer 14

im soo glad. it is so wrong for them to come over here illegally. take our tax money and medicaid and now all of a sudden, there are so many scholarships and grants for hispanic kids. im sorry. i had a 3.8 gpa and top quarter in my class but instead im going to community college cause im white and now we don't get anything. they need to either get their citizenship and start speaking english or get out.  

Answer 15

Because people are tired of illegals taking stuff so people are starting to speak up, also before police didnt have the authority and or didnt check for immigrant status. Some states are able to do this now so now its more.  If everyone chipped in together to do their part then it will go down. ANd this has nothing to do w/ human rights. Its OUR country who else is better to defend it then US Citz and Rightful Perm Res.

Answer 16

I believe they about tripled border patrol agents.
