Among the more than 8.6 million people who’ve illegally entered the U.S., at least nearly 1.6 million are “gotaways.”


Gotaways is the official term used by Border Patrol agents to describe foreign nationals who illegally enter the U.S. between ports of entry and don’t return to Mexico or Canada.

They don’t file asylum or other immigration-related claims – they intentionally illegally enter to avoid being caught. Many have criminal records. They often run when they are pursued by Border Patrol agents or others in law enforcement, authorities tell The Center Square. They do not want to be caught.

The majority of gotaways are single, military age men. However, they also include women and children, many who are smuggled, law enforcement officers say.

1.6 million are now in this country who aren't tracked and nobody knows where they are.  That is a significant amount -- single military age men -- who are they really?  Rapists?  Thugs?  Gang Members?  Terrorists?  Who knows and how many have gotten in, in addition to this that aren't accounted for?
