From the US Customs and Border Protection Statistic on Southwest Border Migration FY2019
These are people CAUGHT. How many are NOT being caught along our 1,954 mile border with Mexico, and disappearing into the interior of this country? I estimate only 25% are caught, which makes the number of people invading this country at 2 million illegal aliens a year.

THIS IS A NATIONAL EMERGENCY.
