The other thing you must take into account is not everyone crosses the border at a port of entry. The current way things are handled even if you catch a large portion that are crossing the border without inspection (not at a port) they are sent back and are trying to cross again before the agent is even done the paperwork. The same alien has been caught two or three times in the same day. There is no deterrent because nothing significant happens to them.
