Although unfortunate this falls within the margin of error for such events. I hope everything gets resolved but a dragnet will cause a few false positives.

Just the same as if the cops bust a party where there is under age drinking, one or two people might be old enough but you can't tell until you process everyone.

And this wouldn't be the chaos it is if the border wasn't a free for all in the first place.

I'm just glad they survived the long swim from South Korea to the US-Mexico border.

Here is the breakdown for illegal immigration by country of origin:

  By region:
  Mexico + Central America collectively made up 68% (~9.3 million)
  South America – ~12% (~1.7 million)
  Asia – ~6% (~851,000)
  Europe, Canada, Oceania – ~7% (~896,000)
  Caribbean – ~4% (~575,000)
  Africa – ~3% (~415,000)

I think that that's the crux of the issue: there was a conscientious driven effort to remove immigration barriers, but it could not be controlled, it could not be properly evaluated, and it became misery for everyone involved.
