illegals entering the states is down 90% in the last decade. The demographics have shifted significantly. Part of the decline is indeed better vigilance and apprehending those that cross. Which is what I said. But a wall doesn't change that. A very large chunk of those is still unaccompanied children fleeing turmoil which is also what the DHD said about the increased number...unaccompanied children's and partial families increased in line with the overall increas for the month. A good chunk of these people are asylum hopefuls that SEEK OUT border patrol agents to turn themselves in.
