llegal-Immigrant Population Dropping (broken link)
A new analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of monthly data collected by the Census Bureau shows that the illegal immigrant population has declined significantly between last summer and May of this year. The study is the first to find quantitative evidence that illegal immigrants are leaving the country. It also examines the extent to which stepped-up enforcement and the downturn in the economy account for this trend. The report, entitled, Homeward Bound: Recent Immigration Enforcement and the Decline in the Illegal Alien Population" is embargoed until Wednesday, July 30th at 2:30 pm. Advance copies are available to the media. The study will be available online at http://www.cis.org.
I am very happy that the enforcement and new laws that certain states and municipalities have passed is working and driving the illegals from our beloved country. I want the rest gone also. We can't stop now and must continue this ongoing fight against the open borders people. We must take our country back no matter how hard it will be and no matter what it entails.

If Arizona is any indication: I believe you are correct.......there are significantly fewer Spanish speakers here compared to 12 months ago.
Most US born Latinos speak at least passable English.

That's an unsettling sentence. No matter what it entails?
Personally, I would attribute this trend to a slumping US economy. A more robust Mexican economy is a better guard against illegal immigration than any fence or number of border patrol officers could ever accomplish.

That would be the humane thing to occur, I agree.
Note though that Mexico (the source of over 50% of the illegals) is showing signs of shattering due to the corrupt police and military as well as the disgusting gulf between its wealthy (mostly White) and poor (mostly Indian/Mestizo) citizens.
Even our Mach50 who is an unabashed illegal immigrant supporter is aghast at what is pending SOB.

Yup. Nothing to disagree with there. Truly is a place where wealth disparity is so shockingly apparent. Especially if you go to the fringes of the cities or rural regions.
I don't know if some of the people living in my Mom's neighborhood (Pomona) were illegals or not. But I have observed that the number of cars parked in the street on Sunday nights has dropped substantially. It used to be that when I visited, I had to park a couple of houses away or across the street. Now I can actually park in front of her house! It is now like when I was living there about 15-20 years ago.
Deporting pockets of 50 or 200 illegal immigrants, would probably take the U.S. about 100-200 years to deport every illegal immigrant. By the time that happens, there will be Immigration Reform. Many illegal immigrants have to much invested in this nation. They know the difference between poverty and prosperity. Many have families and children in this nation. There are alot of Latino U.S. born children according to our recent survey which shows children ages 1-5 in this country are 25% Latino.
