With immigration laws temporarily suspended at the border during the coronavirus pandemic, people who enter the U.S. illegally are immediately expelled without even a piece of paper, generally within two hours and with no chance to plead for protection from persecution. Facing no consequences, migrants are more determined to keep trying until they succeed.
