I find it difficult to believe that is the case, since it is clear that many MANY people cross the border, going both directions, regardless of the meager attempts we've made at *securing* it.
I find it hard to believe anyone even BELIEVES that.

She was giving a history of the problem and drawing that conclusion from it by looking at the numbers in relationship to the events. What she doesn't mention is that while Slick Willie was building short fences in 1996 he was also eliminating FBI background checks on thousands of Mexicans awaiting citizenship, 60,000 in L.A. alone, and encouraging the flow of illegals and telling them they could vote, just go to the polls and vote. That had the biggest effect, imo.

The history, according to Mostert, was the elimination of quotas in a bill pushed by Kennedy, giving illegals welfare etc., under LBJ, the amnesty under Reagan, and the fences under Clinton, all leading up to the present situation.

The conclusion she drew from looking at the numbers is reasonable but that doesn't mean it is correct.

I personally think to massive increase in illegals was inspired by the left both inside and outside this country. Flooding us with millions who have no allegiance to or knowledge of this country, supporting them on the taxpayers dime, and then allowing them to vote by making them citizens or otherwise is an easy way to take over this country. That is the intent, imo.
