when many (most?) of the folks crossing the border are in family groups who make no effort to evade being apprehended, and are instead presenting asylum claims that we don't have the bandwidth to process timely. - albaby

Families??? The vast vast vast majority of videos don't back this up. Not too many women either. Mostly young men 18-30. These are the ones lined up for processing by Border Security.

You do see videos of families crossing the river, and I get that these are more heart wrenching, but in sheer numbers lined up for their free cell phone and plane ticket to anywhere, they are most young males.

The other things that strikes me about the immigrants lined up for processing is how well dressed they are, nice shoes, clean, colorful clothing, seemingly happy and well fed. Not sunburned or gaunt, no tattered clothes or no one barefoot as you might expect after someone has endured great hardships to get here.
