The Border Patrol and apprehensions
The Border Patrol released data on apprehensions from the 2005-2008 period. News stories have focused on the fact that the number is the lowest since 1973, a combination of the economy and enforcement (in particular, enforcement raises smuggler fees).
However, there were a few other points that caught my eye.
First, the share of Salvadorans of the total apprehensions has dropped, from 3.3 percent in 2005 to 1.8 percent in 2008. A similar dynamic holds for Honduras and Brazil. The report claims this is due to the end of the "catch and release" policy for non-Mexican immigrants. But if that is the case, why do other countries (especially Guatemala, the numbers for which have remained largely constant) not experience similar drops?
Second, given the rapid growth of the Latino population in the U.S. South, I found it interesting that the Border Patrol lists only three geographic categories: Southwest, North, and Coastal. I suppose the entire South is coastal? Given the changing settlement patterns, they should update that to provide a more detailed picture.
Third, the age of the people being apprehending is slowly getting older. Those who are 24 and younger are going down, while age groups over 24 are going up. This reflects the demographic changes in Latin America, where fertility has been decreasing.

Most Anglo or White Americans are excellent People that are no Racists or Haters. We all have known thousands of Good Anglo or White People, and had become good friends.
One of them wrote in gather.com of how he evolved from what he was taught as a kid. Because as a Businessman he and his Anglo Friends have workers that are Latinos, and appreciate them.

"Western Civilization" or WC, if this expression has any meaning, then WC is the collective work of many colored or southern ( non Nordic ) people : Semitics, Egyptians, Phoenicians, Hittites, Sumerians, Babylonians, Assirians, Persians, Arabs, Anatolians, etc .. Later the Southern and Northern Europeans.
The First Villages, Pottery, Agriculture, Furniture, Statuary, Metals, etc ... were produced by Non Nordic, Non Germanic, Non European People. It has been found by Archaeogenetics that Greeks and Italians are very close to Anatolians, Phoenicians, Jews, etc ...
And Later the ProtoIndoeuropeans were not Germanics or Nordics in Race or Phenotype.
The Genetic Distance between a Sweedish Blonde and a Black African, is less than that between the African and an Australian Aborigin, or a Negrito from the Andaman Islands ( Very Far South of India )
