Original Note:
The numbers cited are not of illegal immigrants now living in the US, but rather they are counts of border patrol apprehensions and expulsions (and they are counts of incidents, not individuals). These numbers reflect CBP doing their job and preventing illegal immigration. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2024/01/04/what-immigration-data-can-and-cant-tell-us-about-border-policy/72097561007/
