      Except most cases of illegal immigration people come here through legal channels and overstay their visa. In other words the people he’s trying to keep out are already here and that’s just another reason know he’s a smooth brained moron and a vile racist

          The really dumb thing about it is that they’re literally migrants crossing the border, which is why the media refers to them that way. The frightening numbers that we hear about crossing the border each day into the U.S. are offset by large numbers of people crossing the border back to Mexico. The net-inmigration is much lower, and lots of times even negative. (More people leave.) The truth isn’t scary enough, though.
