Though the number of immigrants trying to illegally cross into the United States has gone down, one number that has risen is the amount of children trying to make the trek.

According to the East Valley Tribune, about 3,000 jouveniles were repatriated to Mexico from Nogales between January and September 2010.

"We have the biggest number of unaccompanied minors repatriated every day," Alfonso Vera Sanchez, Mexican consul for protection at the Nogales Mexican consulate says, adding that some of the babies are only months old.

The numbers have not changed much since then, the report says.
