Off the millions and millions of illegals, they get a few thousand, and that is a couple thousand more than last year. 40% is a meaningless number when you are talking about 0.01% of the total number of illegals. Actually, estimating 20 million illegals in the US, 7,500 = 0.00036%, a miniscule figure at best. Now if they were up 400% from last year, it might be closer to being worth talking about.

“meaningless number”

Perhaps, but if the perception spreads that there is agood chance of being deported, maybe a much larger number will self deport!

Reminds me of gas prices...It goes up a dollar then drops .5 cents....Goes up 2 dollars, and then drops a dime.
