She also said apprehensions of illegals crossing the border was down 29%, meaning fewer people were trying to come across.

ROTGLMAO!

More like:
Obama - Hay, Janet - cut down on your staffing on the border. I'm really short of voters and we're planning on pardoning all of them in 2011 and giving them citizenship. Gotta get that second term, you know...

Janet - Sure thing boss!.

A report that America's illegal immigrant population declined by almost 1 million in one year is fomenting hot debate about why it is happening, whether the statistics are correct, and how the numbers should affect US immigration reform.

Rep. Gutierrez and others unveil plan they say will fix the immigration system.The number of illegal immigrants living in the United States dropped to 10.6 million in 2009 from 11.6 million in 2008, the sharpest decrease in 30 years and a second straight year of decline, according to a Department of Homeland Security report released this week.
