Over 100,000 border apprehensions for the second consecutive month is not a 'crisis'. It's an invasion.

I get that there is more than one source of i******s. I do.

The problem with ones that overstay their visas is that they are already spread out across the country. The border is a focal point where a few border guards can round up hundreds.

Put another way, visa overstays are like a rising tide. It's everywhere.

Border jumpers are like a rogue wave and focused on a smaller area.

At least the visa overstays went through Customs. God only knows what comes across the border.

The old picture of all i******s sneaking across the border at night seems to dominate the thoughts of many. Too lazy to bring themselves up to date on the reality of what is taking place. They want to be spoon fed, given sources and sit back and make up their own facts. Typical behavior on the Hogg, LOL!

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

To add perspective, this does not make it any less of a problem.

Illegal is illegal no matter if they invaded, overstayed or wh**ever they did.

I made no reference to it not being a problem, but pointed out by shear numbers it was not the largest contributor. Nothing more, nothing less. Some choose to make a pissing contest out of it and that is about par for the forum.

It appears the situation has been out of control for decades. It's nice to be the big brother and try to save the world, but it's time we figured out where we are and where we are going. Playing policeman and savior ain't making it! Just my opinion...gee, hope eyesore and the rest approve. Yeah, right!

The article does not address those that come across and do not get caught.

Dave, you may be overly sensitive to what was said?

Sorry, but those are not my facts that you are disputing, so arguing with me means nothing. Check the sources you always whine about and blame them. Your unsupported rhetoric means exactly nothing and with that, I am done with you as well. LOL, facts mean nothing to you, yet you demand them. We all know that you are so much smarter than any source could possibly be.

How many people are granted asylum?

"Nearly 20,500 individuals in FY 2016. In fiscal year (FY) 2016, the most recent year for which data are available, 20,455 individuals were granted asylum, which is about 28 percent out of the 73,081 cases. Approval rates varied by immigration court from about 10 percent to 80 percent."

You are so full of s**t your eyes are brown. Here's a recent version of your "old picture" from January.

Your ignorance knows no boundaries. Your limited abilities to research any semblance of the majority of activity related to border crossings is sad. If you think you have the right answers, good for you. Don't bother to broaden your search for facts that better represent the t***h. Find out who and how many i******s actually look for agents to turn themselves in to or how many actually go to a crossing to apply for admittance. Don't let any facts confuse you...it just wouldn't be right. Don't believe any government statistics as to where the i******s come from. You have the real answers. LOL!
