Overnight Open Thread (22 Jan 2016)

DHS investigating just 0.05 percent of 6 million illegal visa overstays. This part caught my eye.

This includes 219 illegal overstays from Afghanistan, 681 from Iraq, 564 from Iran, 56 from Libya, 1,435 from Pakistan, 440 from Syria, and 219 from Yemen, according to the report. Many are still in the United States illegally.
