Arrests For Illegal Border Crossings Hit 46-Year Low
....Border officers apprehended 310,531 people for being in the country illegally in fiscal 2017, a 25% Decrease from the year before.
Arrests of people trying to cross illegally into the U.S. from Mexico PLUNGED to the Lowest level since 1971, as Fewer people attempted the trek, the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday......

Of course, Trump has set a strong precedent, and he isn't stopping until the issue is solved. There are over 10 million illegals in the country and we need that wall.
We already have walls and fences. That's why the numbers have fallen to record lows.
And exactly how is it a national emergency when we are at a 46 year low?
Because we're still playing tag in the cactus with about 800 a day and MISSING another 400 or so that don't get caught.. THat's in ADDITION to the 1200 a day at ports of entry that get processed for asylum, refugee status or work permits. and are usually detained and sent back..
More CHILDREN at the border. Many UNESCORTED.. Uncle Sam doesn't RUN orphanages. Need their parents to STOP sending them here. THAT by ITSELF is a fucking crisis..
That doesn't answer the question of how is it a national emergency when the numbers are improving year after year to the point we're at the lowest in nearly half a century. If it's now a national emergency, why wasn't it a national emergency a year ago when the numbers were higher? Or the year before that when they were even higher?
Anyone that's worked with 3rd or 4th gen Hispanics in Cali can tell you that THEY are appalled by the "level" of illegals that are coming in NOW versus 20 or 30 yrs ago... Largely because of the shift from folks coming focused on trades and skills and starting businesses -- to say 150,000 ORPHANED kids in a couple years that Uncle Sam let in and largely ignored. Or the rise of gang and drug afflicted people that just want safety and don't really even care about America.
Earlier waves converted "condemable" parts of my Cali town to thriving neighborhoods with soaring property values. Built businesses that the whole community used. When I left, roving bands of preteens were walking over the hood of Bimmer and humping in the book stacks at our Nationally recognized library.. Had no safety for my kids.. IT CHANGED.. And even the assimilated Hispanics could know this..
Numbers are lower largely BECAUSE of barriers going up and smarter enforcement. And what we're seeing are NOT economic refugees who snuck in. Caravans are largely the REFUGEES from failing narco states that just want to survive and are gladly RELEASED because they are the communist/socialist opposition to these corrupt dictators. Hernandez down in Honduras just STOLE an election last Nov. Both his brother and sister are in US CUSTODY for narco trafficking, money laundering in the US.. He's MORE than happy to see the caravans leave because his jails are filling with the commie/socialist activists that oppose his dictatorship...
Bad choice to make. Narco-dictator or commie narco opposition.. We don't WIN either way.. That's WHY all the Honduras/El Salvador flags in the recent caravans. These are folks who don't love America, they are just the political "defeated" fleeing a failing state...
