Earl Wallace Harris appeals his 41-month sentence imposed after he pled guilty to unlawfully re-entering the country as a deported alien, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b)(2). The pre-sen-tence report gave Harris a criminal history category of V with a guideline range of 46-57 months imprisonment. The district court decreased the criminal history category to IV, with a guideline range of 37-46 months, because many of Harris’s prior criminal offenses were traffic related. Harris argues that his sentence was substantively unreasonable, in light of the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors because: (1) the sentence does not accurately reflect the seriousness of the offense; (2) the sentence is excessive and thus does not promote respect for the law; and (3) the case received no media attention and so § 3553(a)(2)(B)’s deterrence requirement should be ignored.
We review the substantive reasonableness of a sentence under an abuse of discretion standard. Gall v. United States, 552 U.S. 38, 51, 128 S.Ct. 586, 597, 169 L.Ed.2d 445 (2007). The challenger “bears the burden of establishing that the sentence is unreasonable in the light of both [the] record and the factors in section 3553(a).” United States v. Talley, 431 F.3d 784, 788 (11th Cir.2005) (per curiam). Where the district court imposes a within-guidelines sentence, it need only “set forth enough to satisfy the appellate court that *628[it] has considered the parties’ arguments and has a reasoned basis for exercising [its] own legal decisionmaking authority.” Rita v. United States, 551 U.S. 338, 356, 127 S.Ct. 2456, 2468, 168 L.Ed.2d 203 (2007). “The review for substantive unreasonableness involves examining the totality of the circumstances, including an inquiry into whether the statutory factors in § 3553(a) support the sentence in question.” United States v. Gonzalez, 550 F.3d 1319, 1324 (11th Cir.2008) (per curiam) (citation omitted), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 129 S.Ct. 2848, 174 L.Ed.2d 568 (2009).1
At the sentencing hearing, the district court stated that it had considered all of the factors of § 3553(a) and the arguments presented when determining the reasonableness of the sentence to be imposed. In making that determination, the court reduced Harris’s criminal history category to more accurately represent the seriousness of his criminal behavior, and balanced that against his lengthy criminal history, illegal re-entries, and continuous disregard for the laws of the United States. In doing so, the court appropriately weighed the factors set forth in § 3553(a) and achieved the purposes of sentencing set forth in § 3553(a). Under the totality of the circumstances, Harris’s sentence was substantively reasonable.
AFFIRMED.
