Tired of the term illegal(s).
Sure if they crossed the border and never checked in they are illegal, but most are either refugees or asylum seekers if they checked in and started their paperwork. How long and who determines which is which is up to the government and it's processes.
I still maintain that if you check them, fingerprint and issue SS cards at the processing center this will go a lot smoother. But hey we all turn a blind eye at the worker doing the chit jobs at food processing centers or home building, golf resorts, etc... where they stay largely out of site until the once in a while the gov shows up and cracks down. Then the process starts all over again.
