To add perspective, one of the largest invasions in modern history, D-Day, was 156,000 troops.

To add perspective, the invading troops were not knocking at the door seeking permission to come in.

To add more perspective, there are more i******s from visa overstays than from border crossing.

Who cares WHY they are here illegally? Apprehend and deport. Come legal or don't come.

To add more a HONEST perspective, the immigrants you mentioned entered the U.S. legally unlike the immigrants coming across the southern border.

Who cares?? To put it mildly, the point of the original post was to support the thought that border crossings are a "crisis."

My post merely stated that there is an even greater source/reason for the large numbers of i******s in our country and I supplied sources for my statement.

Somehow I didn't think I was citing anything controversial.

Why do you feel the need to quibble over a simple statement of fact?

The vast majority are crossing the border and turning themselves in seeking asylum. I suppose they could seek visas under false pretenses like many others.

Sorry Dave, I am just thoroughly disgusted with these people pouring into this country and our tax dollars are taking care of them. Americans first.

Most of them are being coached to use that claim as a way to game the system.

Exactly, but again, I stated my purpose was to inform some that the border was not the main source of our so called crisis.

I am not disagreeing with or affirming anything. Just the facts, Ma'am.

Over 100,000 APPREHENSIONS. Per month. At the southern border. Your precious 'asylum seekers' are not apprehended. They are processed. Persons crossing the border ILLEGALLY are APPREHENDED.

460 thousand have come across the southern border illegally and been apprehended so far this year. That is a crisis. I don't know how many are coming in other ways, but if you say that is not the main source, that would put us at over 1 million i******s so far this year. Again, that is a crisis.

Hey, clown, they're not my precious asylum seekers. I stated a fact with sources and if you disagree, don't waste your time pissing all over my feet. It seems that a few of you delight in being contentious and facts mean nothing. How nice for you. I'll wager that I have done more for the Republican Party than you ever will, so get over yourself. I backed my statement with sources and yours via a big mouth.

I can most likely venture a guess that you didn't bother checking the provided sources. I wasn't the source, so you have no argument with me.

Total waste of time putting stuff out for the little nucleus a naysayers with their head so far up trumps ass that nothing else matters. LOL, good luck.
