The yearly inflow of illegal immigrants into the United States has significantly declined over the past three years, according to a report released Thursday.
The report by the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan D.C. think tank, estimated that from 2000 to 2004, an average of 800,000 unauthorized immigrants entered the United States per year, but this number fell to 500,000 from 2005 to 2008.
