Same goes for illegal drugs, only a small fraction is smuggled over land, most all comes through ports.

Fact Check.org has quoted the estimate that about 44% of the "undocumented population" are those who overstayed their visas.
Of Course, government "estimates" are ridiculously low for various reasons (political to hiding incompetence). There are probably way, way, more illegals than the low ball official estimates.
In any case, whether the % is visa overstay or border crossing, either is a large number and both have to be addressed, as has been the visa overstay issue.
