Border problem

It was reported in the news today that 103,000 immigrants came across the southern border during the month of March and only 11,000 of those came through points of entry. This leaves 92,000 who came across between points of entry and this number does not allow for those who came through undetected. Trying to curtail these large numbers is overwhelming the border patrol. Congress has suggested more barriers along with high tech surveillance and more border guards and all of these would help but a change in the law regarding offering asylum to anyone who sets foot on US territory would discourage people from coming to the border. Most agree that a change in immigration policy is needed but that is bogged down with politics.
