One problem with the whole wall issue is that the current trend for types of illegals is folks who overstayed their visa, not people who crossed the border illegally. In 2014, 2/3rds of new illegals were visa overstays. This continues to be the trend. What is our President’s idea to solve that?

Bogus data. What is your source?

1- The federal government has no data on the total number of people crossing the border illegally. They only know how many people they captured.

2- Visa overstays are mostly upper income people who come on tourist visas and never go back. Lower income people from 3rd world countries don’t meet the financial requirements to get tourist visas.
