With 11 million illegals in country I'd say we have anything BUT strict border controls. More like targeted border controls...

I said strict, not effective.

Note also that people who are in this country illegally may have come here legally, and then simply stayed beyond the point that they were allowed to. That has nothing to do with border patrols, but rather whether we feel it's appropriate to aggressively police inside the country for people who may have overstayed the amount of time they were supposed to.
