The part that gets left out of the border-crisis discourse is that millions, in turn, are sneaking back across the border, out of the United States. That's why the media calls them "migrants" instead of "immigrants." The net in-migration rate is fairly small, and in many years it's negative, meaning more undocumented migrants leave than the number that arrive.
