The current process is not working because we have not found adequate deterrents, we have millions coming in and a paltry thousands being deported. The math speaks for itself.
I am all for improving the process as I know it is incredibly bureaucratic and difficult to navigate.
The number of illegal immigrants in the US has been decreasing for the last 10 years or so and has declined by more than a million from its peak.
I also believe that as it relates to our southern border, those crossing it have no interest in engaging that process no matter how efficient we make it because the status quo is a cake and eat it too scenario.
You think they would rather risk death or arrest than come here legally? They don't come here legally because they effectively can't. This is one of many reasons why we should reinstitute guest worker programs to legalize these people coming over the border.
