The illegal aliens who manage to evade Border Patrol are known as the “gotaways.” Customs and Border Patrol officials are facing tens of thousands of gotaways—over 42,000 who escaped.

While it might seem like a big number, many consider it a conservative amount, believing many more have slipped through undetected.
