LucyT, it has been since around 2004. I no longer have a reference. I just know that the report I saw showed a 900,000 figure for entries in one sector alone, along the border during that nine month period.
Early in the Bush administration, the border was flooded due to Bush’s announced intent to legalize the illegals in this nation.
Time Magazine (I believe it was) pegged the flow at 3.5 million per year at one point. I never thought it was that bad, but 2.0 million wouldn’t have been out of the question.
