In one direction. every year. year in. year out. 700.000 to 800.000 people cross the border looking for hope. opportunity. work. or to reunite with family. They come into this country in an illegal status. and they disappear. There is a portion of our economy that welcomes immigrant labor. They are able to find work. They are able to hide. They are able to falsify documents. I have personally gone to Alvarado Street in Los Angeles and seen where. in 20 minutes. you can obtain a green card. a drivers license. a Social Security card. You cannot tell the difference between a real and a fraudulent document. The border is broken in that we cannot protect it. Secondly. it is estimated that 40 percent of the people here illegally are visa overstays. Some go back after awhile. Some never go back.
