Border control catches as many as they can given that most of their manpower is back at the POE passing out cell phones and doing paperwork. However, they can't catch them all and the ones they can't are called gottaways. The BC, who is in the best position to know, says the number of gottaways is 800 to 1,000 a day.

There is some reason these gottaways try to avoid detection. As a group, they are way more threatening than any group of true asylum seekers.
