We don’t have the numbers. The government reports who they get not who got away and with many sanctuary cities protecting them and refusing to help the feds it’s over 20 million here illegally and that’s a conservative number.
Perhaps you folk might consider the biggest source of illegal residents. For at least the last 7 years overstayers have outnumbered border crossers.
Can we hear all the clever things Trump did to lessen the number of overstayers?
Democrats fight for illegals on that front as well, passing laws that makes it harder for ICE to go after illegals and reward illegals with hopes of citizenship. You didn't mention that in your "bombshell".

I guess that poster thinks we should just ignore the 200,000 jumping our border every month and only focus on the visa over stayers? They are both a problem and need to be addressed but at least we know who the visa over stayers are. We don't know what kind of trash is sneaking through our border. We have at least 11-20 million illegal aliens in our country and most of them were border jumpers not visa over stayers.
How many illegal aliens have crossed the border since Biden began repealing "Stay in Mexico", agreements with central American countries, letting families in without consequence etc.?
And that's just the ones Customs and Border Protection catches. Most common estimates are that for every illegal border crosser they catch, two or three more get through and get away.
U.S. border arrests top 1 million in fiscal year 2021

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Reuters) - U.S. authorities have made more than 1 million arrests of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border so far in fiscal year 2021, according to preliminary figures shared with Reuters, a tally that underscores the immigration challenges facing President Joe Biden.
At the current pace, the total border arrests for the fiscal year, which ends on Sept. 30, would be the highest since 2000, when nearly 1.7 million migrants were apprehended by U.S. authorities.
Biden, a Democrat who took office five months ago, has reversed many of the hardline immigration policies put in place by his Republican predecessor, former President Donald Trump.

This is what the Democrats want. Get them in here. Create an emergency. Then collapse the system to deal with it. This is totally planned.
TRANSLATION: I can't come up with any argument or rebuttal to the OP's facts, but I hate them anyway. So... QUICK! CHANGE THE SUBJECT!!
Simply pointing out that you antis are simply ignoring the bigger illegal problem about which Trump does not appear to have done a thing.
I would also point out that the new administration is simply catching far more illegals than the Trump one did. You all suggest That there is a known multiplier from caught to escaped. That is pure nonsense.
Simply made up so you don't have to admit Biden is doing better.
uh the "new administration" is catching more illegals...because they open the flood gates
Catching 100 more illegals....when you're stormed with a million....is not something to brag about
