Interesting article from the Washington Post.  If you read to the end of the article, it looks like the stepped up efforts of the Border Patrol are having a tangible effect on the number of potential illegal migrants crossing the border.

Not clear to me how much impact is because of enforced (more or less) border patrol activity and how much due to broader economic and demographic trends.

also, Alabama and Arizona's new immigration laws are helping that out.  South Carolina is next to implement the new law.  We'll see another drop in arrests as well.
