Here is some very good information regarding the change in illegal immigration from 92 until now.

Most importantly, look at the graph on pg 2.

• The number of migrants coming to the United States each year, legally and illegally, grew very rapidly starting in the mid-1990s, hit a peak at the end of the decade, and then declined substantially after 2001. By 2004, the annual inflow of foreign-born persons was down 24% from its all-time high in 2000, according to the Pew Hispanic Center analysis of multiple datasets collected by the Census Bureau and other government agencies

So.... no need to worry?

From 2001 to 2006, illegal immigration has grown steadily.

While we are still below the 2000 level, we are rapidly approaching it again.

Don't let this info get into the hands of the Bush Is A Traitor! FReepers, their heads will explode trying to explain how Bush is worse than Clinton, and how we need to put the Dems in power in November to "teach them a lesson".
