The word "attrition"or a reduction in numbers aptly describes the state of illegal immigration today. Illegal immigration in the United States is on a slow decline - and enforcement and unemployment are playing significant roles.

I'm more concerned about all these jobless illegals running around having come from societies where criminal action is the norm. Better arm yourselves. I have to buy a shotgun soon.
After what happened in New Orleans, I'd say a shotgun would be a very good idea. The illegals are only half our worry.
