The number of illegal immigrants caught trying to sneak into the United States has dropped since President Bush ordered the military to help tighten the border, the head of the Border Patrol said Tuesday. Officials surmise that part of the reason is that fewer people are trying to enter the country because they’re discouraged by the increase in efforts against them.
Immigrant rights advocates think the migrants may just be shifting entry points, crossing at more remote and dangerous areas. Maybe the thought of it being more dangerous will keep many from trying to cross.

I like to hear that the numbers are down and I hope they're accurate (they're not entering in less patrolled areas). I don't have a big problem with those who come over to make an honest living but what bothers me is who COULD be crossing the border, such as terrorists and drug dealers.
