Bad News, Good News

You've heard all the bad news going around recently. How about some good news for a change? This Associated Press article reports that the number of illegal immigrants attempting to cross the Mexican border is down dramatically.

The article says it appears there are half a million fewer illegal immigrants in the U.S. than there were a year ago. In other words, more are going home than are coming here.

The weak economy and stepped up enforcement are suggested as causes. Whatever the causes, this is good news for the U.S., if not for Latin America.
