Remember, they’re not illegal immigrants. They’re “out of status” new Americans signing up for a path to citizenship.

More from Damien Cave:
“I don’t see how the government can stop this,” said the man as 4 immigrants crossed by the border fence. “This happens daily.”

There was a border patrol truck 500 yards from where I just saw these immigrants cross but he didn’t have a sight line and missed it.

The window to catch the crossers: about 15 seconds from border fence to road and escape car. #immigration

No. #IllegalImmigration.
@damiencave I dunno. There were several border jumpers in plain sight at the SOTU address but they weren’t caught either.

Update:
Cave offers some context:
Some context for the 4 migrants I saw crossing illegally this morning: I was also with Border Patrol when they caught 6 last night.
— Damien Cave (@damiencave) February 14, 2013
More context: to catch the 6 last night CBP had a helo, a drone, and agents on ATVs, horses and in trucks. Resourced but still ppl get thru.
