Immigration officials said the data only reflects those caught at the border, suggesting the actual number of illegal immigrants crossing into our country is unknown.
“You cannot compare just number of apprehensions, you also cannot compare just seizures because it’s the unknown,” stated Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost. “That’s what keeps me up at night, what’s crossings through the border between ports of entry, because it is not a controlled environment and it’s getting past us.”
You cannot count those who you cannot count.
