Then how exactly do you know that that the numbers aren't declining?

I don't get it.
There's been a NET LOSS of immigration from the US TO Mexico in the last 5 years.
People are LEAVING the US in droves to go back to Mexico.
What boarder security issue? Other than that camp of kids of course.

The reduction has been driven mainly by a decrease in the number of new immigrants from Mexico, the single largest source. Net immigration from Mexico to the U.S. has stopped and possibly reversed since 2010. At its peak in 2000, about 770,000 immigrants arrived annually from Mexico; the majority arrived illegally. By 2010, the inflow had dropped to about 140,000—a majority of whom arrived as legal immigrants.[1]
One immigration research group reported that the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. was 12.5 million in August 2007 at its peak. This decreased by 1.3 million to 11.2 million by July 2008 (11%) due to either increased law enforcement or fewer job opportunities.[2] Based on the Department of Homeland Security estimates in 2009, unauthorized immigrant population living in the United States decreased to 10.8 million in January 2009 from 11.6 million in January 2008. Between 2000 and 2009, the unauthorized population grew by 27 percent.[3]

The GOP should try and impeach Obama; but they better take a different tactic than they did with Clinton.
That blew up in their faces and Clinton was reselected despite the cigar, bluedress and Monica. Careful what you wish for.

Neo, just do some research.

According to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), different estimates of the total number of illegal immigrants vary depending on how the term is defined.[11

Conservatives would have done no better, the same crap would have been happening under McCain. Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush all are pitiful excuses for presidents. Every single one should have been jailed for treason. If we impeach Obama then we need to retroactively impeach all of them and we need to extradite a few for war crimes. Otherwise I'm sick of freaking hearing it. It's empty rhetoric and hurts my eyes and ears.

As I said before, the only thing Obama did that's truly impeachable was drone bombing a US citizen.
But Republicans won't oppose that since they love killing so much.
