View submission: What are the reasons millions of undocumented immigrants were allowed in the US? I don't recall ever hearing the most obvious reasons by politicians.

Your own “math” is ten percent, chief. You’ll forgive me if I’m a little suspicious of your authority to have a meaningful opinion about this, since you struggle with basic arithmetic.

No it's not, let's say 100,000 people try to cross the border 90% fail. That's 90,000 who fail. If the total number trying is then reduced by 90% that means only 10,000 try. If we still catch 90% of the people trying that mean 1000 made it across the border.

Now you tell me Mr. Arithmetic genius what percentage is 1000 out of 100,000.
