Glenn Grothman: “I bring attention to the American people of what should be the number one story in every newspaper in the country…”

“I bring attention to the American people of what should be the number one story in every newspaper in the country tomorrow, but we know they won't even cover it. Today were released the encounters and releases at the southern border for August--just shy of 140,000 people. By comparison, 2 years ago in August of the prior administration, it was 13,000. So, in 2 years, we have gone from 13,000 to 140,000. That also means a corresponding increase in the amount of fentanyl crossing the border, and we all know that, right now, we have well over 100,000 illegal drug deaths in America, and of those 100,000, the vast majority contain fentanyl. I also point out that, right now, the deportations are about one quarter per day as to what they were for people committing crimes 2 years ago. I want the American people to wake up and demand something serious be done on the border, and I beg the press corps to talk about the new August numbers for people crossing here illegally. ____________________”
