SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- U.S. border patrol agents are arresting fewer people on the border with Mexico and at the border with Canada in Upstate New York, according to Department of Homeland Security statistics released Tuesday.
Arrests by agents at ports of entry in Upstate New York dropped by 2.1 percent In the 2015 fiscal year over the preceding year, while the number of passengers crossing into the United States there fell by 9 percent.

During the 2015 fiscal year, total arrests by customs and border patrol agents in California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico plummeted by 31 percent, or about 148,000, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's annual report.
