WASHINGTON – New government data shows the Obama administration has sharply increased immigration prosecutions and has stepped up cases against white-collar crimes, drug violations, organized crime and official corruption.
An analysis compiled by a private group using government data also found that there has been a decline in the Justice Department's felony prosecutions aside from immigration cases, particularly outside the Southwest.
The study was released Tuesday by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a private, nonpartisan group based at Syracuse University that compiled the data from the first two years of the Obama administration and the last two years of the Bush administration.

U.S. illegal immigrant population steady (Pew Hispanic Center study)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2667055/posts
Here be another, Obama , LOL , moment..The number of illegal immigrants living in the United States was virtually unchanged last year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. The annual report found 11.2 million living in the U.S., versus 11.1 million in 2009.
After two years of declines, the number of illegal immigrants living in the U.S. was virtually unchanged last year, according to a report released Tuesday by the Pew Hispanic Center.
The annual report, relied upon by both sides in the contentious immigration debate, found 11.2 million illegal immigrants living in the U.S., statistically identical to the 11.1 million estimated in 2009. The number peaked in 2007 at 12 million and dropped steadily as the economy collapsed.
“It seems the decline has halted as of 2010,” Jeffrey Passel, one of the report’s authors, said on a conference call with reporters.
The center’s findings do not include reasons for the decline or for the stabilization in the illegal immigrant population, which has widely been attributed to the sluggish economy and tougher enforcement.
“Common sense suggests both of them are, in fact, factors,” said Paul Taylor, the center’s director.
The stabilization seems to stem largely from a dwindling number of people making the often perilous journey into the U.S. from Mexico.
“People in Mexico look at the U.S. economy, they look at the U.S. as a potential source of employment, and they see that the opportunities aren’t here,” Passel said. “They weigh that against the cost of hiring somebody to get them across the border and the risks of getting across the border.”
The report also found that illegal immigrants in 2010 were parents of 5.5 million children, 4.5 million of whom were born in the U.S. and are citizens. Because illegal immigrants are younger and more likely to be married, they represented a disproportionate share of births — 8% of the babies born in the U.S. between March 2009 and March 2010 were to at least one illegal immigrant parent.

GIGO
This report is propaganda. There are far more than 11 million illegal aliens. The number is closer to 30 million. The number of illegals has grown not declined. The growth may have slowed somewhat but it has certainly continued to grow.

illegal immigration violations are surely a drop of the bucket. But they will claim that when people pint ou that they are not securing the border.
