That is a good rate.  Shows that most people that come to visit the US are earnest in their intent, and respectful of our laws.  However, half a million remaining here illegally is just too many.  I realize that when you look at the total number of people that visit the US, that number seems very small, but it doesn't take very many dangerous people to cause harm to a large number of American citizens. 
 
This a dangerous time that we live in.  We look to our government to protect us from harm, that is job 1 of government, to protect the safety of it's citizens.  I fear that if the people that are in government, and it's agencies (all employees of us, the taxpayers) aren't able to contain possible homeland terrorist attacks (similar to San Bernadino) then they will have to act in drastic forms, forcing us citizens into giving up our liberties and freedoms that we are all accustomed to.


Accountability, that is where it all leads back to.  We currently have a President that does not hold the employees of America accountable, and that slack is impacting our safety.
