What is their overall % of catching them before they get deep into the US of A? I would GUESS that it is around 30%. And it is pretty SAD for those applying to get into the US legally.
.....I have heard it said several times on popular TV shows that many jobs in the US are NOT being filled - and that is why we NEED some temporary system to let in people legally. I, personally believe that these jobs are NOT being filled for 2 reasons.
........ONE........employers COULD PAY more to attract employees, but that means that they would have to lose some small percent of PROFIT (probably less than 5%)
..........TWO.......6% of (mostly women) are UNABLE to work because of their inability to get good babysitting care. The Federal government NEEDS to address this problem and then we would need FEWER foreign-born workers, which are today clogging up our bigger cities with HOMELESSNESS.
