I think those Pew Research stats are questionable at best and fraudulent at worst. The stats are based on what various government agencies report and those reports are extremely lacking in authenticity. According to the "boots on the ground" personnel along the Mexican border, there has been no real decrease in illegal entries into the U.S. by either Mexican or "OTM's".

This is just more Obama "Razzle-Dazzle".

They conclude that from 2005 to 2010 some 1.39 million people came from Mexico to the United States and 1.37 million went from the U.S....
