I believe the recession is mostly responsible for that, not the feds.

So it has little or nothing to do with increased funding for border security over the last 4-5 years?

How would explain the increasing number of deportations?

Don't start that shit.

It is a known fact that in good economic times more people try to enter than during a recession.

In fact, with Mexico in recession as well, many still see better opportunities there....but the number that have gotten across has decreased as a result of increased funding for border security over the last 4-5 years, including Bush years.

The suggestion that the feds have not been acting on the issue over the last 4-5 years, is a myth, by any measure....just as the myth that illegals are creating havoc and committing violent crimes....both of which have been used by the governor and others to justify the law.
