With all the pressure on illegal immigration, it's only going to get worse.

I think you are correct.

If DHS/CBP/ICE did their job well in the first place we wouldn't have this issue in the way we do within the US. Instead DHS/CBP/ICE decide to do a lousy job within the US as well.

to this and the mission creep.

Fortunately East Coast to LA flights don't generally have an immigration/law enforcement dragnet in play. (There are some exceptions for flights from So.Cal but not enough that plans need to be changed.)
