Arrests along the border in March were the lowest in 17 years.
There were fewer than 12,000 people arrested while attempting to cross the border illegally in March 2017, a 64 percent decline from the same time last year
“This area used to be really hot,” Marlene Castro, a Border Patrol supervisor, told the Los Angeles Times... ...“You couldn’t move. Every time you turned a corner, you’d run into group after group,”

Fortunately, Trump seems to have already made great progress towards protecting our border
The influx is probably dropping because the outsiders can see nukes dropping on America soon, after Trumps attack on Syria.
Arrests along the border in March were the lowest in 17 years.
Across the Southwest border, the number of immigrants caught crossing illegally into the United States has dropped dramatically. Fewer than 12,200 people were apprehended in March, a 64% decrease from the same time last year, and the lowest monthly number in at least 17 years.
Here in the Rio Grande Valley, ground zero since 2014 for the flow of asylum seekers fleeing violence and persecution in Central America, the number of families and unaccompanied children caught entering the United States has plummeted, from about 291 a day in January to just 37 a day in March.

So thats approx. 25,000 people were entering per month.
Thats 300,000 a year
Thats 3 million per decade
Which is 30 million per centenary if the figures continued...

"The border is often painted in an unfair light," Cuellar said. "The people who characterize the border as a violent and crime-ridden place often have never visited, or lived here. The FBI's official crime statistics for yet another year demonstrate that the border is home to some of the safest cities in the United States. Violent crimes like murder and aggravated assault are much higher even in our nation’s capital than on the Texas border. These unfounded stereotypes about the border have the potential to hurt business, and we need to stop this misinformation about the border."

But still, just get that friggin wall pronto
