Some of you have argued that we can't possibly know this. Well, I've found this document on the Department of Homeland Security's website that goes into detail on how they come up with the numbers.

According to this DHS document, the number of illegal border crossings on the Southwest border has dropped from over 800k in 2006 to less than 100k in 2016.

This document was provided to Congress as directed by law. Maybe this is why Congress doesn't think a wall is needed - DHS told them the numbers have plummeted. Not sure why some people are suddenly so concerned when they weren't in 2006.

You can throw that away because a president can alter it anytime through the DHS Sec


That’s how Obama was able to lie about deporting so many.

Well there are utter dumbshits on your side who want to give anybody who crawls over free health care so it really doesn't matter how many there are.

It doesn't matter when one of them kills you with their car either.

Because in 2006, this bill was being signed:

Oh. And Obama, Clinton and Schumer all voted YEA for this.

100k per year is still absolutely a crisis in a country with welfare and income tax.

You may want to actually read what you posted, specifically the methodology.

In Baltimore they call it juking the stats.

It’s on the rise again though.

There were 24k arrested just from October 1st to Christmas in the El Paso sector.

ITS NOT JUST ALL ABOUT ILLEGALS!

Its about drugs, sex and human trafficking.

They have no idea how many cross. But if it is just one it is too many.

And they keep saying 90% of drugs come through ports of entry? How do they know that? When they say that 90% comes in are they meaning that the stop those drugs or that there are massive amounts that come though without being found. If so we need new screeners and more dogs.

Nothing should come through unchecked.

I am sure that the cartels will use whatever way they can to bring in their product. And an unsecured border is easier than taking a chance by using a container or 18 wheeler that may be checked.

Who says we weren't so concerned in 2006? Just because you lived in a shell doesn't mean everyone else did.
