I know a family trying to take a three week vacation to the US. They applied for a visa. They need to do an interview to get the visa. The interview is scheduled a year and a half from the day they applied and is on a random weekday in a city 8 hours from where they live. They don't live in the middle of nowhere, they live in a huge city with a population of over 15 million.
They applied in 2023. Is this considered letting everyone in?
I have a coworker who's here on a work visa. He has a master's degree and works in a high demand field, making over 200k a year. His visa renewal was rejected and he has to leave in a few months. Do you consider this letting everyone in?
What's your reasoning for thinking that he lets everyone in?
The problem is that they're trying to do it legally.

38000 ppl currently detained by ice and cbp for illegal border crossing. That's a lot of ppl not being let in.
Thats magnitudes less than the millions Border Patrol catches and releases every year. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters
That's millions by year and my statistic is for a month. Looks like your statistic shows 170k encounters for the most recent month which is what we should compare to the 38k detained.
That's roughly just under a quarter of encounters getting detained. Being encountered but not detained doesn't mean they are let into the US. They get sent back. Detaining people costs more money than sending people back.
No, theyre detained for a little bit and released into the US
