Here's a different website talking about what looks like the same data at a glance. 

"The decline in the number of Mexican immigrants residing in the U.S. has been mostly due to a drop of more than 1 million unauthorized immigrants from Mexico from a peak of 6.9 million in 2007 to an estimated 5.6 million in 2014"

This research by Pew says the number is at 11.3M as of 2013:

I think your figure is total vs. just Mexican.  The Mexicans are still more than half the total, but going down in both absolute and relative terms. 

Look at Page 6 of your PDF:  they estimate that there are much fewer unauthorized immigrants who have been here only a short time compared with several years ago.  Most of the ones here now are veterans.  (Not military.)

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
