The United State's economy is not so hot right now, and we inforced the immigration laws. The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States each year has slowed significantly since the first half of this decade. Legal immigrants now outnumber illegal ones for the first time in TEN years. The number of illegal immigrants entering the United States has declined from an average of 800,000 a year in 2000-04 to 500,000 a year in 2005-08. Could this be due to the slow down of growth of the illegal immigrant population? OR is it because our economy is not doing so well? Despite the population slowdown illegal immigrants still make up about 4 percent of US population. Will this decrease or increase over time???
