Approximately 220,000 illegal immigrants have evaded Border Patrol since October, a Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News on Wednesday, coming during months that are typically slower for border crossings.
Known gotaways are those who have been spotted on cameras and sensors etc., but Border Patrol does not have the manpower to get to. It is harder for officials to estimate the number of "gotaways" who have avoided detection altogether -- meaning the number of actual gotaways is likely much higher.
