how many does it take to make it unchecked? those are just arrests.

assuming 50% are arrested (probably high) that's 100k crossings a month. over 1 million a year (1.2)
that's pretty damned "unchecked" no?

Lets just say you are stupid and let it go at that.

In Mr Trump's first year in office in 2017, arrests of migrants illegally crossing the US-Mexico border were down at 303,916, compared with 408,870 in President Barack Obama's last year. While illegal crossings cannot be accurately counted, border arrests are used as a measure of illegal border crossings.
There were also about 3,027 illegal apprehensions from along the Canadian border and 3,588 from the coastal border.
These numbers include asylum seekers (a person who applies for refugee status at a US port of entry or from within the country). The most recent report, 2016, shows a total of 115,399 applied and 20,455 individuals were granted asylum to stay in the United States.
However, since February 2018, the number of migrants crossing the border illegally was up, with arrests last month more than double those in May 2017.

And just think, if they could be proved to have been organised by undercover Zionists, there'd not have been a crime at all!

If Hondurans with the ability to "do something about it" choose not to use their time and money to help fix their own country, why should we pay for their poor?
The ones who have wealth and education would be welcome here.
We don't want the ones who almost certainly won't be able to pay their own way.

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

It is always about the money for them. Oppose abortion, let them starve in Yemen, Central America, United States, wherever. Sanger called it population control. The right wing calls it "fiscal responsibility".

BTW, I'm not even "whining" about poor Americans. I'm "whining" about letting poor uneducated people from other countries who will certainly end up the dole into this country.

From what I have been told, my father, et al., grandmother, aunt, cousin came here with only a few hundred dollars in their pocket. None of them had college educations to my kowledge. My Aunt, grandmother, and cousin had to all share a one bedroom apartment for years.

But they were extremely grateful to be here in the U.S. and Canada, and all of them raised kids who went to college, got graduate degrees, and pursued productive professional careers. That's basically how immigration works, jack - they "payoff", if you have to think of it like that, usually comes in the second and third generations.

The bottom line is that I have no doubt - none, nada, zilch - that my immigrant progenitors were better citizens and better members of the community than virtually any buck-toothed, Trump-loving white trash redneck.

And then they come back again. The only way to deal with this problem is to take away incentives to cross over in the first place.

Wall keeps them out .. once they are deported they can't get VISA back in.

The murderer of Kate Steinle was a Mexican criminal who was like deported 5 times?
San Francisco being a sanctuary city kept him from being deported again by ICE.

But at least if we can get the criminals out it will keep them out and keep new ones from returning
 
Not a word here from the "relatives"...shouldn't the red carpet be out for the pending arrival?
Hmmmm.....
