Morning Glory: It's the border, stupid
Fox News
The Fall campaign will be about illegal immigration.
It is impossible to know how many migrants have crossed our southern border since President Joe Biden took office, but it has been far, far more than 560,000 a year. Uninvited migrants crossing that southern border fall into two categories: "encountered" and "got-a-ways."
The former have some contact with a U.S. official. The latter do not. There have been more than 8.5 million "encounters" at the border since Biden took office and some estimates but a fair estimate of the "got-a-ways" is closing in on at least 2 million. No matter how one slices and dices the data, more than 10 million have flooded the country in three years and three months. Some have been deported, and some of those have returned. The chaos at the border prevents any definite data set from being assembled, but none is needed.
