Regrettably, this problem is due to the federal government’s refusal to pass a new comprehensive immigration policy, failure to fully enforce the existing policy and refusing  to correctly label the problem. A cursory review of this problem suggests that it is impossible to draft a policy in the absence of correctly labeling the problem. America’s borders are facing a strategic overrun by asylum seekers, migrants, refugees, and immigrants armed with their dire needs.
