LOL Those who overstayed their visas came here as tourists, students, temporary workers, etc. There are 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants who enter annually, They are not included in the visa overstays because they are issued green cards.

FYI. The US has over 50 million visitors a year who enter legally, So it is incorrect to say that 40% of legal aliens overstay their visas. 40% of 12 million overstayed their visas

Yes, I misread the numbers. But it would be correct to read them as saying; 60% of the illegal aliens crossed the borders illegally and the other 40% came here legally but became illegal aliens when they overstayed. But you maintain that illegal aliens are not the problem. I disagree.
