Historic Obamanation: Illegal Alien Population Drops by 1.7 M illion

You no longer have to guess that things aren't going at all well in the economy when the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. has dropped nearly 14 percent in two years, and is still declining.

The Center for Immigration Studies estimates that since summer 2007 the illegal-immigrant population has dropped from 12.5 million -- its peak -- to 10.8 million in the first quarter of 2009.

The CIS report also said there is evidence that the number of new illegal immigrants arriving has fallen by about one-third in the past two years compared to earlier this decade.
