Comments

Border apprehensions don’t count those illegal criminals and welfare migrants who were not apprehended.  If half of these illegals were not apprehended, we have had a migrant invasion of over 1 million illegals per year for 60 years.

The US population was 183.7 million in 1961. Now in 2019 the US population is 330 million. The US population increased by 146.3 million and at least 60 million were illegal.
