#3 I call bullshit. No matter how bad it gets here, it's worse in the cess pool known as Mexico. Reporter ignored the thousand miles of border in Texas. Folks down in Granjeno (where they're building the fence) say they used to see one or two crossing at a time -- now they're seeing them cross in groups of 50.

#4 "The figures are based on detailed household interviews conducted quarterly by the census agency in Mexico, the National Institute of Statistics and Geography."

WowThe NPSG. That almost sounds official. You can be sure theres an office with phones and desks and everything. There are probably even some big maps on the walls.

"Along the border, the signs of the drop-off are subtle but ubiquitous."

Much like the number of illegal aliens residing in the US. Depending on whom you ask it could 11 million or maybe 20 million. Its one of those ubiquitous census thingies. You knowa giver-take a few million.

#5 August 2008 ie before the crash

The housing construction boom ended in 2007. Word about no hiring travels fast. Migration will resume when housing does. But that may take some time.

#6 Border Patrol vans return empty to their base after agents comb the desert for illegal crossers.

OK I'm a suspicious asshole, Issue the agents a counted number of cartridges, then make the border patrol account for each and every cartridge missing (Used), and anyone caught with more ammo than issued is promptly fired.
