The problem is that they're trying to do it legally.

38000 ppl currently detained by ice and cbp for illegal border crossing. That's a lot of ppl not being let in.

Thats magnitudes less than the millions Border Patrol catches and releases every year. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

That's millions by year and my statistic is for a month. Looks like your statistic shows 170k encounters for the most recent month which is what we should compare to the 38k detained.

That's roughly just under a quarter of encounters getting detained. Being encountered but not detained doesn't mean they are let into the US. They get sent back. Detaining people costs more money than sending people back.

No, theyre detained for a little bit and released into the US
