Pew regrets having to be inexact about the estimates, but the truth is, no one knows just how many people are overstaying visas, because the federal government can't accurately count them. That's right: Credit-card companies can alert customers the world over about fraudulent purchases, yet the feds can't keep track of how many people abuse visa privileges. I don't believe its an incompetency issue; after all, the IRS has no problem tracking you down when you owe money. No, I believe the problem is the feds just don't care.
