And something most people don't realize is that the majority didn't just walk across the border. They came here using legitimate visas and then just never went home. Just like Elon and his student visa.

Many walked across the border and asked for asylum, which is LEGAL.
The majority of asylum claims are denied.
Millions of people currently in the U.S. are here because they asked for asylum and we haven't even had time to schedule them to go before a judge.
More funding for asylum judges would solve this problem.

How do you know the majority initially came legally? I'd love to see the stats.

That is absolutely a thing, but it is definitely not the majority
