Dec 2011

2010 393,000 arrests/deportations. I assume people who are deported are arrested. data from the link you posted.

2011 340,000 data from OP

393,000 > 340,000 therefore all arrests are down.

regarding what wingnuts may or may not think, I am reminded of something someone just told me recently.

"Feds: Arrests of illegal immigrants decrease dramatically" is the headline.

Not much room for interpretation there"

This is a misleading headline because this article only talks about border arrests EFerrari Dec 2011 #7

sounds like overall deportations to me, not just those caught at the border n/t Bacchus4.0 Dec 2011 #8

Yes, that was my point. The headline says arrests are down EFerrari Dec 2011 #9

I didn't read it that way. Less people are trying or willing to try to cross so fewer arrests. Bacchus4.0 Dec 2011 #10
