Foxy, you failed to click the link... it states, "For 7th Consecutive Year, Visa Overstays Exceeded Illegal Border Crossings."

The study if referring to a trend that began in 2010:


The last report from Homeland Security was for 2019, but you can see for yourself that the trend has continued.

2016 - 739,478
2017 - 701,900
2018 - 666,582
2019 - 676,422

This is 2021 not 2017

Most illegal border jumpers are not in New York

foxnit, it's starting to look as if you enjoy looking foolish. Why would a border town have visa overstay and border crossing card violation statistics for the entire border?

Oh, let's see now. Who was president in 2016 and 2017, tick tock tick tock tick tock. HRH TRUMP. Now why don't you forward this piece of wisdom to the mayor of Mc Allen Texas or any other border town. See if they have the same statistics you and NPR have

The problem that many (especially the GOP during election time) forgets is that most illegal immigrants come here legally, and then just fail to renew their visa.

The report released Wednesday by the Center for Migration Studies of New York finds that from 2016-2017, people who overstayed their visas accounted for 62 percent of the newly undocumented, while 38 percent had crossed a border illegally.


This means that the whole idea of patrolling the border is a waste of money and effort. It does nothing but excite the more ignorant base that is easily manipulated by memes and clickbait, while ignoring the actual facts.

The wall was intended to be a legacy to Rump paid for by American taxpayer or was it "Mexico?"

foxnit, you ignorant tool. There are several ways people enter our country that a wall will make no difference.

Your love of your cult leader has made you suptid.
A few below, yet I know you're denial and willful ignorance will keep you fixated on your cult leader's wall.
- Border Crossing Card Violation
- Visa Overstay

Well this fool patronizes a bank that uses cameras and so do all the fools I know, but we're not so foolish as to make broad statements about things of which we know nothing. You obviously have no idea of the scanning capabilities of a reconnaissance drone. And you definitely do not comprehend the effect of a low flying helicopter on mobs or crowds with the speakers blaring and at night the blinding spotlights.

Stick to those things of which you have knowledge (sparse and few as they may be) and quit trying to find excuses for Trump that ship has sailed..

Why don't they just fly drones around the Capital? Why don't they just have cameras at banks? You simple F00L. Do you think we can't see the floods of people approaching the border. Do you think the border patrol is there now, to stop the flow. Nope dunce, they walk across and through the voids in the fence, walk up to border patrol, turn themselves in, get food, medical, and transportation. Then they are loaded on buses and planes and dropped off all across the country in towns that are not even made aware they are coming. How have you missed this.? are you just watching CNN? Is that how you stay to ignorant?

I don't know how we managed to get to the American Revolution? Maybe we could have defeated the British much sooner if we had built a wall around them instead of making our tea with cold sea water.

Cent. A WALL CAN STOP THE OPEN FLOOD GATE. What would have happened to America if during the fight for independence they Ran to another place. America is here because we made borders and boundaries.. America has laws. It's a republic. Obey and enforce the laws.

Cent. BUILD THE WALL.
PROTECT THE BORDERS FROM ANYONE ENTERING ILLEGAL.. IF NOT MAKE ENTRANCE TO AMERICA FAIR. STOP CATERING TO BIG BUSINESS WITH CHEAP LABOR. LET THE PEOPLE THAT ARE UPPER CRUST HIGHLY EDUCATED THAT WILL TAKE THAT UPPER CLASS JOBS AWAY OR SHOULD I SAY CAREERS AWAY FROM BUSINESS PEOPLE MAKE IT FAIR IF WE'RE GOING TO LOSE AMERICA WE ALL GOING TO HAVE TO GO DOWN IN THE SAME **** BOAT. THE POOR IS THE FIRST ONE TO GET SCREWED WITH ILLEGALS COMING IN LIKE THEY ARE.

Newby, I just told you how to protect the border, but as you worship "The Chosen One" and he wanted a wall in your shriveled up little mind we must have a wall.

Newby, no one said anything about not having borders all nations have borders, do you see a great friggin' wall stretching from the east to the west of Canada? Canada has more to fear from us than we do from Mexico.

For your information I have only one God and it is not the pope or as in your case Trump.

Cent. Without borders there's NO COUNTRY. America is protecting other countries borders from invasion but not its own borders.. Heck your god the pope has a wall around his Nation but tells the world there is no borders.

Fox you technically ignorant beach, the drones could spot them long before they got to the border and probably pick out the coyotes. The helicopters and ground vehicles could be waiting in place way before the illegals arrived.
