It's mostly illegal aliens. At least most legal immigrants are net contributors to our economy unlike illegal aliens who are not. Not only do they cost us over $100 billion a year but they send remittances back to their countries in the billions not spent in our economy.

If the CEO or owner of a company employs illegals they should go to jail. Which is probably why Trump was against it given how many illegals he employed at his properties. (well documented btw use google if you are unaware). But even so, Trump and the Republicans could have passed something that went into effect in the future. They did not do so.

Republicans DO NOT care about this topic. They employ illegals quite often in fact. They just like using it because it riles up the racists, and those like me who think that we need borders that we control. I think we need more LEGAL immigration rather then this illegal stuff.
So many lies in your post I just had to reply even though you are on my ignore list. The Republicans have tried to pass an e-verify bill many times but the Democrats refuse to sign one unless it includes a huge amnesty.

When it is proven that an employer "knowingly" hired illegals they are held accountable and several were under the Trump administration. The problem is that illegal aliens use fake or stolen ID's/SS number to gain employment and can fool some employers. Many work for cash so how can that be caught?

Trump was never tried or convicted of knowingly having illegals working on is properties so you accusations mean nothing! When it was discovered that the illegals had used fake or stolen documents to gain employment they were promptly fired. Trump uses e-verify on all of his properties now and in fact his golf courses were the only ones that hadn't up till then. Rich businessmen do not hire manual laborers themselves either.

Only the "corrupt" Republicans and Democrats don't care about this issue. They both hire illegal aliens. WTH does racism have to do with opposing illegal immigration? We have legal immigrants and citizens here of the same ethnic makeup as most illegal aliens! Stick your race care where the sun don't shine!
Now back on my ignore list you go.

It doesn't matter one iota what one wants and decides to break the law to get what they want. No one has the right to come here illegally. If they do so they should first be discouraged from doing so with laws, the wall, etc. and lastly held accountable if they come here anyway.

I can't believe I had to explain that to you.
90% you say?? WOW. Did you get that from the Trumpian media outlet? It isn't exactly a secret that the wall (which BTW Trump claimed would be 99.9%) effective - has been breached thousands of times. You can toss out your residual statistics which are only as good as the people reporting them, but I don't buy or believe the 90%. You have to be caught to be included. Get it? I can't believe I had to explain that to you??

Does ICE still have the hotline where citizens can report illegals, or did the Biden Administration shut that down? The locals should meet them at the airport, phones and ICE hotline at the ready.

15000 gallons an hour hard to do with an average tank size of 6.8k gallons.

I generally don’t buy into the “ never would have happened under Trump” thing.

When it comes to illegal immigration, The Biden Admin owns it.

No notice of incoming to state/ local officials, night flights and unmarked buses.

The problem would be that they have temporary legal status as people who have an asylum application pending.

Wrong, Trump's wall has not been breached "successfully" 90% of the time! I note you didn't provide a link to your assertions.

Is this source good enough for you?

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/12/12/walls-work

"For example, when we installed a border wall in the Yuma Sector, we have seen border apprehensions decrease by 90 percent".
