Border arrests drop to 1970s levels

Reporting from San Luis Rio Colorado, Mexico -- Arrests of illegal immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border have fallen to levels unseen since the 1970s as the ailing U.S. economy and enhanced enforcement appear to be deterring people from trekking north.

The trend is apparent from San Diego to Brownsville, Texas, but is most dramatically felt on the border's busiest illegal immigrant corridors, which extend through the Mexican state of Sonora to Arizona and California.

Who will we ever get to fill the jobs blacks don't want. Maybe the 5,000 people who showed up at dodger stadium to sling hot dogs in lieu of being unemployed could give us a clue.

Jobs? What jobs? LINK

As I said in these pages some time ago: the only way to stem the tide of illegal immigration is to make staying more attractive than coming over. I just thought it would be by them building up not by us dropping down.
