This is good news! Immigrants arriving from Mexico fell by 249,000 from March 2008 to March 2009, down nearly 60 percent from the previous year. As a result, the annual inflow of immigrants is now 175,000, having steadily decreased from a peak of 653,000 in 2005.

The analysis of census data from both the U.S. and Mexican governments, being released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center, highlights the impact of the economic downturn on Mexican immigrants, many of whom enter the United States illegally.

My Ride: I have an 05 545i. It's a manual with a few options. This is my first BMW but I don't know how I'll ever be able to switch to something else.

I'm glad everyone, other than the OP, thinks Mexicans are the only immigrants crossing over from Mexico.

Everyone knows our economy is shit right now. The one good thing about this is maybe it will free up more jobs for LEGAL citizens of the united states.

What's wrong with LEGAL immigrants coming into the country no matter where they're from.

Why the atricle stated that many Mexican immigrants enter the US illegally I don't know. Perhaps the article has erroneous information.
