The Trump administration only need prove that border security falls under his purview (it does) and if an unchecked mass of migrants is an emergency.

We have the TSA checking US citizens because they pose a threat to national security. How can the TSA exist in a world where democrats say unchecked immigrants don't pose a risk to national security?

Do you have a source for the number of unchecked immigrants? I can find apprehensions, not those who get in.

Are you asking if there's a source for the number of illegal immigrants that cross without being captured? I don't have that. 

Even if we assume the border patrol is effective in capturing 90% of all illegal immigrants, you're still left with thousands of monthly crossings. 

It doesn't matter anyway because the number of captured illegal immigrants is justification enough. Not knowing how many cross undetected is even more ammo for Trump to declare his emergency.
