The numbers are down due to weather and the illegals are being dispersed to all 50 states either to “relatives” or to Catholic and ACORN type groups. What’s clear is deportations are a small fraction and the LA Times reported that 84% are between ages 13-17. Don’t be fooled by the pictures of toddlers.
I agree that deportations are a small fraction and I suspect it will remain that way. I’m not fooled by all the toddlers, I’ve seen many pictures of teen-age boys, at least some of which are reportedly members of gangs, but they are under 18 so are included with “the children”.
