But the one vulnerability that seems to be overlooked is visa overstays, people who enter our country legally and then who overstay their visa and simply melt into the Great American landscape. And as i think about it, while i understand the desire of people coming from other countries, perhaps, to emigrate to the United States because of economic or security conditions, it it is almost the moral offensive to me that people co
