To listen to the recent Republican Presidential debates, you'd think illegal immigration was the biggest threat to the U.S. economy—not to mention to the rule of law, our social fabric and national security. We hate to spoil the political reverie, but the real immigration story these days is how many fewer illegal migrants are trying to get into the land of the free.
That's the news from the Department of Homeland Security, which reports that border apprehensions have dropped to their lowest level in nearly 40 years. For fiscal 2010, arrests were 463,000, down from 724,000 in 2008—a one-third decline in two years.

Thank you. I was feeling left out. Noone else wanted to report me. I am in good company now! Thanks again for reporting me.
Purple Drain....to oblivion!
The US and other countries signed a treaty banning letters of marque.
Of course I don’t think a treaty overrides the Constitution.
If it doesn’t get fixed, then we won’t last another 25 years
Remember Reagan’s 11th commandment.
I doubt such a treaty was even intended to apply within the boundaries of the United States.
Of course I don’t think a treaty overrides the Constitution.
Where's the sarcasm tag?
Remember Reagan’s 11th Commandment.
Remember Reagan’s 11th commandment and obey it.
Just remember Reagan’s 11th Commandment, and follow it.
Yeah, you’re right about the “apprehensions”, but that is a federal issue that the states have no control over.
All of those issues that you mentioned are federally mandated.
Yup, all of Dubya's and Rove's pandering to the Tejanos got him maybe what, a 4.5% upswing from the Hispanic community? And I will wager a fair stack of $2 bills that most of those swing votes were from South America and the Central American republics -- those people will listen to a Republican appeal to social issues and values, Tejano Mexicans won't. That "cultural conservatism" of theirs -- still voting for the PRI after 92 years, they learn slower than the Russians.
That’s interesting, I’d like to hear more about your 4%.
That’s a really interesting map, showing the demographics. Thanks for posting that.
Anything that lowers wage bases, they're in favor of. Sovereignty and defensible borders and halting the advance of tropical diseases and things like that are waaaaaay down the list.
Lewis Tappan and other prominent New York businessmen active in the Abolitionist movement of the 1850's actually advocated emancipation of the slaves (uncompensated, of course) and "repatriation" of same to Africa (how do you repatriate a fourth-generation immigrant?), and then replacing them with millions of Chinese coolies under indenture contracts. Think that would have worked out well?
I am not supporting illegal immigration. I routinely disagree with the WSJ on the subject. but this time I am agreeing with the idea that illegal immigration is not anywhere near the most important issue facing the country and that attacking Perry for the in-state tuition has little affect on illegal immigration anyway.
The attacks on Perry violate the Reagan 11th Commandment and are helping the leftist agenda by dividing the GOP on irrelevant issues. Perry is not the enemy. He is not even the worst of the GOP candidates. Romney is, yet you and so many others would destroy Perry to help Romney.
It is not a “secret word”. It is what we have been saying for years, “Enforce.”
No, he isn't!
We've had MS-13 graffiti in our own middle-class neighborhod in Houston. Cops working undercover, three years ago, watched an MS-13 gang take down a rival gang's house with military precision -- someone had been training them in U.S. Army small-unit urban-warfare tactics. The FBI told us this in a community-affairs meeting in 2008. You want to argue with them, that Latin gangs are not a problem -- a big one?
Oh, and the crew that took down that house? A joint-strike tactical team showed up and swooped down on the MS-13's, and they fought. They didn't throw down their weapons -- the ringleaders fought to the death, with automatic weapons, and only the juniors surrendered. Smoke that.
Mi casa su casa should be the kiss of death for any U.S. politician, given the civil and criminal danger such a posture entails.
Oh for Pete’s sake, you think that gang graffiti is a result of in-state tuition?
I live in the NW corner of WA state and we have the same graffiti, and I’m betting that we don’t have anywhere near the percentage of illegals that you have.
