Pew Research: The Rise of Federal Immigration Crimes
``Unlawful reentry convictions in federal courts are part of a broader stepped up enforcement effort from the U.S. Border Patrol begun in 2005. Prior to this change, immigrants apprehended at the border were largely allowed to voluntarily return to Mexico—without any penalty.''
“Between 1992 and 2012, the number of offenders sentenced in federal courts more than doubled, rising from 36,564 cases to 75,867. At the same time, the number of unlawful reentry convictions increased 28-fold, from 690 cases in 1992 to 19,463 in 2012. '' http://goo.gl/2LjKCu
