I could swear I typed english in a comprehensive way:thinking:

What I meant is it has been a growing problem for many more years than just recently. It has been an ongoing problem for the US since I can remember pretty much. It used to be the US was much more lenient about immigrants, then in the 70s or so they took a more "hard line approach" to try and slow it down and stop it. As you can see it has not slowed down and has actually escalated the problem to some extent because the steps they have taken have been redundant and inneffective. Add to this the growing economic problems in many countries and it means the sheer numbers trying are forcing larger numbers through.

so in effect instead of 100 trying daily and 2 making it daily, the new numbers look more like 1000 trying daily and 100 making it daily (just example).
