I think the 6 million "deported" are repeat deportations. They get picked up near the border, deported, picked up again the next night, deported, picked up again, deported, etc. until they actually, finally evade Border Patrol and make it to the areas where there is no immigration enforcement. And they don't just do this one year until they're finally in. Many return home and come back and do it all over again. They might as well say "banana" instead of "6 million" because that's all that number is worth. The number I wish someone, anyone had, was the actual number per year that violate the border. But we'll never get that number until the border is under control. I would also like to know the actual number of illegal aliens living within our borders. The 12 million number being used is likely very low and there's no way that anyone can actually know since they're hiding and many will stay hiding unless a blanket amnesty and free citizenship is given. Of course, we don't want that, so many will never register and will stay in the shadows and we'll never know. We should never have allowed them to come in and think that they could stay here in the first place.
