Joseph H. Vilas added,
It's a graph of the wrong number, which (combined with coming from Noah Fucking Smith) is suspicious as hell. The correct number would be something like 'attempted border crossings'. Declining apprehensions would also be consistent with a decline in enforcement.
My understanding is that attempts really took a nosedive after the great recession. There are some other graphs in the comment thread that might be of interest. But I'm not really against immigration anyway, just against wasting money on walls &c.
I don't care about immigration one way or the other but I am extremely opposed to Noah Smith.
I don't know him from Adam, or Adam Smith, for that matter. ;)
He's kind of the platonic ideal of Talking Head, or Respected Bullshitter, or Bluecheck. The sort of epistemically corrupt wonkishness that eg Vox specializes in.
