SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – It’s a problem that seems to get worse every month.

Senator John Thune is sounding the alarm again over the crisis at our southern border.

We have just completed our third straight record-breaking year of illegal immigration.

On top of that, Thune says last month there was an average of one-thousand “gotaways” every day.

Senator Thune says the border problems are the first order of business as the Senate considers a national security package.
