More migrants = more arrested why is this difficult?

So I often hear below average intelligence individuals mention that the border is so good now in 2022 "because the number of arrests are higher than ever before"

It's true that the number of arrests are at an all time high. But this is because the number of "migrants" is at an all time high.

I don't understand why this isn't self explanatory to people. When more people try to run across the border, more terrorists, pedophiles, drug smugglers, traffickers etc etc etc will also be apprehended. And in turn more of them will try to get across because they can easier try to hide in the masses of people.

It's true that in the Trump years almost Noone got arrested. That's because Noone came. They knew they'd be sent back to Mexico to await their asylum results. So they didn't go to the border. Thusly they didn't get arrested.

Is this really hard for anyone to understand?

I see it is hard for some people to understand. I wish someone would find a way to explain it to 5 year olds and use that method to explain it from then on
