Although Mexicans still make up the largest group of unauthorized immigrants, numbers from Mexico have been on the decline since the Great Recession began in late 2007.

The number of unauthorized immigrants from other countries has been on the rise since the end of the recession, hitting an estimated 5.7 million in 2016. Immigrants from Central America and Asia – largely from India and China — are two of the main drivers of that growth.

Big flood of Immigrants in this part of Maryland in only a few years.

I assumed they have family visas since they all have their families here but don’t know that.

The other countries saw that we were not enforcing our laws and joined in flooding our country with illegal aliens.
There are at least 30 million illegal aliens here.
Only removing those already caught and convicted of other crimes will still leave us millions of illegal aliens.
ALL illegal aliens ARE subject to removal.
We should not have to wait until they harm or kill American before they are removed.
ALL illegal aliens MUST commit multiple crimes DAILY to continue their illegal presence.
There are NO “law-abiding” illegal aliens.

“unauthorized”

Whatever. If somebody broke into an NPR studio, it would merely be an ‘unauthorized’ entry, and not a crime, I suppose.

I don’t see it as anti wall (there is still a flow across where the wall will be) but as pro interior enforcement and visa entry/exit checking (which we have long needed).

So Mexican illegal immigration is somewhat of a red herring to distract us.. To grab headlines while the other hand is waving in. Another 6 million. Not surprised. No wall and the pubbies are done!

You’ll see numbers upwards of 40% that come by air and over stay their visas. A lot of
those are Asia/China etc. But there are still a lot crossing the USA/Mexico border.

Leave the chinese girls alone. They are cute and without them there would be a shortage of massage parlors.

That has been the case for decades. The near absolute focus on a wall has long been surprising when so much more is needed.

Nope. They actually made the case for a cost effective deterrent so, ICE, Homeland and Border Patrol can concentrate on removing all illegal aliens.

The wall has a large one time cost, minimal upkeep and can be manned fewer agents than currently patrol our border, reducing misallocated man hours...

That was easy...

Put a real wall, minefield, constant military patrols on the southern border and shutdown all illegal border crossings. Then move focus to kicking out VISA over stays and all other illegals. By the end of eight years, we can be done with this expensive drain on our country.

What they left out was that many of those Chinese illegal aliens are flying to Mexico and crossing the border.
We still need a wall.

> There are at least 30 million illegal aliens here.

30M / 324M = 0.09259
That’s 9.2%.

At what point is it an invasion?
