And for those who cheer the deportations/arrests (and I do not condone illegality) be mindful that these are human beings trying to have a better life, just like your ancestors might have escaped other countries to do the same. Also, remember that the illegal immigrants did not get into mortgages they couldn&amp;#39;t afford.&lt;img src="http://ohmygov.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=3188" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Number of illegal immigrants decreasing </title><link>http://ohmygov.com/blogs/general_news/archive/2008/09/25/number-of-illegal-immigrants-decreasing-due-to-economic-troubles.aspx#3185</link><pubDate>Fri, 26 Sep 2008 00:17:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0818fdd8-5679-476d-9536-9a7a82355f32:3185</guid><dc:creator>Stephen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Our nation must stop the fiscal bleeding brought on by crooked politicians, illegal aliens, illegal employers and special interest lobbyists. Vote out anyone giving away billions in foreign aid, granting amnesty or accepting contributions from lobbyists. The very survival of the US is at stake. Thank you ICE for a job well done!&lt;/p&gt;
