Far from eliminating illegal immigration, it is simply keeping the undocumented from returning home. See http://www.ccis-ucsd.org/news/North%20County%20Times--11-22-07.pdf.

Is the city still occupied by protesters? A question about migration that I have is whether the US's stricter enforcement has made it riskier for migrants to return to Mexico, given that it may be much harder to come back. This could mean fewer visits back home and also fewer permanent returns. This could (and I'[m speculating) mean that undocumented immigration numbers would actually increase.
