Mexico’s former ambassador to the U.S. said that 30
million “undocumented immigrants” are living in the United States in the
beginning of an interview before later stating a different number at the
conclusion.
The former diplomat, Arturo Sarukhan, took to MSNBC to
attack presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s recently released plan to secure the
border and deport illegal immigrants. The MSNBC clip began with presidential
hopeful and Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), voting record 80%, claiming
that only 12 or 13 million illegal immigrants are in the country.
The former ambassador stated,” If you were to deport the
30 million undocumented immigrants in the United States that’s going to cost
you about 130 billion dollars.” Contrary to the former ambassador’s initial
numbers and to Rubio, MSNBC showed an image while Sarukhan spoke claiming 11
million illegal aliens were in the country.
Sarukhan then stated later in the interview that there
are 11.3 million illegal immigrants in the country, though he did not address
his former assertion that 30 million are here.
Many conservative and border watchdog groups have long
contended that the actual number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. is closer to
30 million while the U.S. government contends the number is closer to 11
million.
