The Border Crisis Won't Be Solved at the Border

It may be worth noting that a significant proportion - 42% - of "other-foreign-nationals" or "undocumented immigrants" arrived here at airports or other ports with a legal visa, and then overstayed their visa, thus never crossing the "border" (implicitly with Mexico) that looms large in all discussions of this topic.

So those immigrants are actually "documented", in some way, because they have got their visa after passing some screening processes.
