Despite some questionable fact-checking by major media outlets, it’s true.
In 2017, the U.S. Border Patrol reported 526,901 encounters at the border. Over the past 18 months, 5,628,745 encounters have been reported.
Part of the problem is that the full scope of the immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border is not being properly covered by major press outlets.
The numbers are impossible to ignore or explain away.
