Whats Really Behind the Slowdown in Mexican Border Arrests?

“In the past year, the U.S. government took strong measures to seal the border with Mexico, deploying 6,000 National Guard troops, sharply increasing the size of the Border Patrol, and installing new detection equipment and barriers.

Around the time these measures were being implemented, the number of arrests at the border began to fall. The U.S. Border Patrol reported this year that arrests are down 10 percent from last year.”
