Not as much as the xenophobic fear mongering would have you believe, by almost every metric. 

Before you go on a "you're a stupid liberal" rant I'll let you know that I'm for border security. But I think we need better solutions than hard-line deportation. Experience shows it actually makes the issues that do exist worse (look at Alabama or Arizona). We need a combination of better border security and a way to solve the issue of the 11 million already here. This was pretty much what Obama was trying to do, but "build a wall" is a better metaphor for the cherry-picking uniformed people in society I guess.
