“I request the press corps one more time that sometime, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps sometime next week, to release the new numbers of people coming across our southern border, what we sometimes refer to as illegal aliens. It is a story the press should never get tired of reporting, but apparently, they are. I remind them that every month lately 230,000 people cross our border, about 11 times the number of people who were crossing the border a little over 2 years ago. Of those, 70,000 are got-aways, which means they don't even go through the perfunctory checking in that you do if you ask for asylum. About 9,000 are unaccompanied minors. It seems to me, about 5 years ago we were screaming bloody murder about families being torn apart when people were held apart from their parents who were breaking the law for just a couple weeks. Here we have 9,000 people who are permanently coming across the border without their parents, and apparently, we don't even care. Indeed, the Biden administration has stopped asking for DNA tests to sometimes see if they are related. We are told by the Border Patrol that the people coming across are more aggressive than they have been in the past. No issue is more important than this. If the press corps is on the ball in this country, we should be reporting every day, every week, the number of people coming across the border, as well as the countries they are coming across from. ____________________”
