The population ought to be aware of the fact that very late in the last month the administration released the new figures on what we will call legal immigrants crossing into this country. This was before there were any changes in title 42, and a lot of the focus lately has been on title 42. We had another all-time record in November with 210,000 people crossing the border and staying here. This is a national scandal. Just making a brief appearance at the border shouldn't get Joe Biden off the hook. 210,000. By comparison, a year ago, it was 140,000. Two years ago it was under 25,000. When you are going under 25,000 to 210,000, that should be the headline in every paper of the country, and I don't care whether you release the numbers late in the day on a Friday or not. I hope this institution does all we can to pick up the mantle that President Biden has dropped and do something about the massive increase in illegal immigration. ____________________

I would like to interject a little bit of common sense in the deportation debate we have had going on here. No one knows exactly how many people are in this country illegally. I think it is safe to say that under President Biden that…
