"illegals once here, help their relatives come to the U.S. "

This is true to a great extent. And they help the people from the same village or district come to the US also.

"no, illegals generally don't go back for visits, as the risks of being caught and paying to reenter are too great."This is an ignorant but telling statement. First of all you are saying that not one illegal goes back and forth across the border to visit their homes. Not even for the death of a parent or a vacation. You may want to argue (although untrue) that "not that many" make the round trip. But to argue none is ignorant.

Question for you: If 2 million illegals cross the border every year but the number of illegals in the US increases by only 500 thousand a year, How does the math work out?

The border is porous in both directions.

Most illegals I have talked to return to Mexico about every 18 months for various reasons.

No, you are ignorant. I happen to know what I am talking about.

I did not say that! Making things up, and misquoting people is not a respectable thing to do and I advise you cease doing that.
