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.

US border officials record "encounters" with migrants - these include people who attempted to cross illegally and people who tried to enter legally but were deemed inadmissible.

This CBS story[1] says it's between 730k - 1.1M per year (2-3 thousand people per day) just in the Tuscon Arizona and Del Rio Texas sectors.
