Only increases in electricity is due to adding intermittent sources into the mix and shutting down nuclear plants and even some NG plants. That is the only reason for increases.
So you're concerned about a crisis on the southern border, and when I asked you to quantify the threat you claim it poses you linked me something about the northern border?
The other links are about people on terrorist watch lists apprehended at the border. If they're apprehended and they're on watch lists they get turned away. There's nothing in those links to discuss. It's very explicitly a non-threat.
Except for the ones who weren't caught and for above, I didn't say it all comes from the northern border, did I?
Let's recap.
Doesn't one of your links say 3 terrorists have made it across the border successfully since 1975? Why are you trying to argue that your own sources are wrong?
No, YOU think that because a majority are not a problem, then there is NO problem. That's the difference. People who live on the border would also agree that it IS a crisis when they find people on their property who are stealing, damaging, trespassing for sure and in some cases committing crimes such as burglary and assaults on the property owners
Knowingly. More people cross unknowingly or not intercepted than cross legally.

What I'm saying is that you claim to want a solution to this "crisis" of illegal immigration but your solution doesn't address the MAJORITY of illegal immigrants who came here legally and simply didn't leave when their visa expired. If you really wanted a solution you would focus on one that isn't just nakedly opportunist racism.

How Asylum Seekers Cross the Border (Published 2022)
The southern border is seeing a historic spike in migrant crossings. Many are coming in hope of asking for asylum, a right that has been unavailable because of pandemic-related restrictions on immigration. A New York Times photographer documented three ways that people cross the border into the...www.nytimes.com
"The vast majority of migrants cross into the United States at spots between official ports of entry, walking over the border or wading, swimming or floating across the Rio Grande, almost always under the watch of cartel-approved guides hired in Mexico."
Statistics on unauthorized US immigration and US border crossings by year
The US has reported nearly 11 million unauthorized border encounters between October 2019 and June 2024.
"The US has reported nearly 11 million unauthorized border encounters between October 2019 and June 2024."
I need a CURRENT citation on that, tbh and also the length of time those expired visa people have been here vs the 11 million that walked across the border over the last few years, meaning, that may not be accurate any longer
Old School white Doctors in this country have bee an memory for generations
That 11 million number you're citing is for BORDER ENCOUNTERS. We didn't add 11 million new undocumented immigrants.

And more get in than get "encountered" at the border but you're wrong, 11 million is how many they estimate are IN the US.

These 3 links tell a pretty clear picture. Visa overstays account for a tremendous percentage of undocumented immigrants and they have accounted for a tremendous percentage for a long time.

DHS Reports Record Number of Overstays in 2022

Visa overstays; the immigration problem that no one is talking about
The main focus surrounding the immigration debate has centered on the border, as agents try to grapple with the record number of migrants trying to cross into the United States.
Yes. OVERALL. You said 11 million NEW undocumented immigrants successfully crossed the border while Biden was in office. That is very clearly not true if 11 million is the overall figure and roughly half of them are visa overstays.
That makes sense though, doesn't it? The numbers went down during the pandemic, but the need to escape poor conditions obviously didn't. So once we were in a bit of a global recovery period the figures spiked as "supply" caught up with "demand" so to speak.What we know about unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S.
The unauthorized immigrant population in the U.S. grew to 11 million in 2022, but remained below the peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
The unauthorized immigrant population in the United States grew to 11.0 million in 2022, according to new Pew Research Center estimates based on the 2022 American Community Survey, the most recent year available. The increase from 10.5 million in 2021 reversed a long-term downward trend from 2007 to 2019. This is the first sustained increase in the unauthorized immigrant population since the period from 2005 to 2007.
