Noting that Trump's source was Customs and Border Protection, and being in the habit of wanting to cross check and verify, I went to that site (here), where I found this sentence:-
"In December 2023, the U.S. Border Patrol recorded 249,785 encounters between ports of entry along the southwest border. CBP’s total encounters along the southwest border in December were 302,034."
Obviously, there's a discrepancy there. Perhaps it's because the 249,785 encounters "between ports of entry" were those who snuck across the river, while the remainder, 52,249, were encountered at ports of entry?
I guess it's fair to say they were all illegal anyway. And nobody knows how many more snuck in without being detected either. ...................... Trying to find any evidence, if I could, that we are definitely looking at a "green for go" situation, I used the search feature on the Q drops site to look for anything relating to arrests and indictments.
It's a fact that many have happened behind the scenes, but although I did not find anything definitive, I did find this. |
