TUCSON - The Border Patrol has cut down on illegal immigration through Arizona with an ongoing crackdown that specifically targets what has been the U.S.-Mexico border's busiest illegal entry point, a top federal official said Thursday.
"We are making progress, moving in the right direction in decreasing numbers and the flow of aliens across Arizona," said Robert Bonner, commissioner for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Six months ago, Bonner described Arizona as "the weakest part of our border with Mexico."
