My question to Kenneth covers what is more important. Has Obama improved border security or is it worse? Here is a link from homeland security. Politicians campaigning twist information...here are some facts...

In the report Apprehensions by the U.S. Border Patrol: 2005–2010 the Office of Immigration Statistics found that "Border Patrol apprehensions declined 61 percent from 1,189,000 in 2005 to 463,000 in 2010". "Apprehension statistics are one of the few indicators of illegal entry into or presence in the United States." Apprehensions generally occur at or near the U.S borders are made by the Border Patrol of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Apprehensions "involving foreign nationals illegally present in the United States who may have entered without inspection (EWI) or entered legally but lost their legal status, are handled primarily by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)" and can be found in the report Immigration Enforcement Actions: 2010.
