So under Trump the legally required report is being issued, while it almost never was under Bush and Obama? Trump has a big mouth, but who is the one following the law in this case?

We should reduce the number of visas given to countries with high fractions of visa overstayers, and/or make visitors from those countries to post the equivalent of bail.

[Regulator]

That number is about double what used to be the TOTAL number for immigration up until about 1970, and those were people primarily from Europe, not charming thugocracies like Burkina Faso.

“629,000 Overstayed U.S. Visas Last Year, Homeland Security Says”

And you’re a “hateful, xenophobic bigot” if you say so.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I suspect the actual number is much higher.

[posterchild]

How many people come here on 6 month tourist or other visas but work illegally? They go home twice per year for a quick visit so they are not ‘overstayers’ but they are violating the terms of their visas.

[Bigg Red]

So, now, HSA, go out and round them up.

[jjotto]

The US issues over 10 million visas a year, of various types. It’s not at all hard to believe that a half-million a year become illegal aliens as a result of this alone. I’d be surprised if the number was actually that small.

A million legal immigrants plus a half-million illegals each year is 3-4 million new Democrat voters by the next presidential election.

Wanna bet most of them voted Democrat?

[Logical me]

Round them up and kick them out.

A B-2 tourist visa is good for six months which is the time aliens have to find an American citizen spouse that will then move them to the top of the Lawful Permanent Resident (Green Card) list. Plus they can become citizens after only 3 years of marital residence instead of five years.
My next door neighbors are in such a marriage. Recently the Mexican In-laws applied for visas for their first trip to the U.S. from Guadalajara. The Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) officer asked them how many children they had, they answered and then the officer said: “and one of them is illegal, right?” They said yes; they had been told to never lie to CIS and CIS already knew that a child was in the U.S. as an illegal alien.

any numbers on how many have been apprehended and returned to their home country?

[ThePatriotsFlag]

In Singapore, when you enter as a non-citizen, before you clear customs you have to show your RETURN TRIP ticket.

[AmusedBystander]

So the NYT who is in favor of unchecked illegal immigration is suddenly worried about those overstaying their Visas?

[Paladin2]

Only 0.6 million? Good job HLS....

[Darteaus94025]

How about making these clowns put up a bond, the amount of which is 3x the amount it averages to chase them down. When they leave, they get the money back.

[Pollster1]

Track them all down, fine them the cost of enforcement, imprison them for at least a year, and then deport them permanently. No exceptions.
