Some interesting facts include:

♦The number of immigration prosecutions has continued to increase and now account for 54% of all federal criminal prosecutions.

♦ Illegal reentry of a deported alien accounted for 22,000 prosecutions in FY 2009.

♦ Potential drug smuggling charges were brought less frequently.
