During Barry’s economy illegal immigration is down because illegals can’t find jobs, not because more is being done to enforce our laws. We would be better off if Congress were to get rid of Homeland Security, and leave states alone.

That is what I read. I liked the falsity also. I have an excuse for my writing going down hill. These are paid professionals calling for the Fed to take lead.

illegal immigration is down by 36 percent under Obama

Not completely untrue; lots of illegals are going back home for a siesta because our recession is drying up employment - hardly the type of situation I'd want to proclaim as a success.

Even if this is correct, it's mainly because of the poor economy.
