Immigration enforcement efforts actually have become more lax since the September 11 attacks and have had "no meaningful impact" on the growing number of immigrants now in the United States — which has reached a record high of 34 million, according to a report released yesterday.
A 13 percent increase of U.S. immigrants, more than 4 million, since 2000 included more than 2 million illegal aliens, who now total about 10 million or 30 percent of the immigrant population, the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), said in its report, based on as-yet-unpublished U.S. Census Bureau data.

Damn those canucks eh! Flooding across the border after our Almond joy bars and cheap handguns. ;)

Seriously tho that is not at all what we see here on the northern border. The system is better and more effective than it was prior to 911. For a period the crossings themselves were more of a problem as time has progressed the bugs have been generally worked out and I must say I have a huge amount of respect for the job that the customs (I will not use the term Homeland) are doing.
