...." this happened the day after May Day when literally thousands of immigrants throughout the Bay Area marched to have this type of activity stopped," immigrant advocate Evelyn Sanchez said.......

That's the part we Americans love best.

BTW, Sanchez, let's see your papers.

THIS JUST IN -— A US crackdown is causing the longest and most significant drop in illegal migration from Mexico since the Sept. 11 attacks.

Officials say the U.S. economic downturn, tighter security and a more perilous and expensive journey are persuading many who try to sneak into the US to give up sooner.

Border Patrol arrests are down 17 percent so far this year along the US-Mexico border after falling 20 percent all of last fiscal year and 8 percent the year before that.

While it’s impossible to know how many people are crossing illegally, the Patrol uses apprehensions to estimate the ebb and flow of traffic.

Migrant smugglers have to hunt for business at border-town shelters. Many deported migrants give up after one try, taking their government up on free bus rides home.
