Has he provided a link to a study or numbers that show that? I’d love to have the research information for the next argument.

On the other hand, there are not that many valedictorians in the world, so it is an easy thing.

Frankly, I wish King would spend more time pointing that out. IT was probably the point he was trying to make, that the claim that the illegals were “valedictorians” was absurd, given that each high school has one valedictorian, and there are not that many high schools.

SO I’d be surprised if there were more than 10 valedictorians in any year that were illegal immigrants. Which means if there were 1000 children caught smuggling drugs each year, his number would be accurate.

But I’m not sure I believe that 1000 kids are smuggling drugs each year.

If there were as many as 10 illegal Valedictorians, we'd be hearing about them non-stop every day from every advocate of amnesty. I think that the best they were able to do is come up with one.

Keep in mind too that border town schools are abysmally bad, with standards as low if not lower than in inner city school - the one kid who learns how to spell his own name is valedictorian by default.

“But I’m not sure I believe that 1000 kids are smuggling drugs each year.”

That’s only 3 a day on the whole southwestern border. It’s very big, very empty, and yes, sometimes you will see them in groups, sweeping north like the Wildebeest on the Serengeti. It’s easily ten times that number, or even a hundred.

There are probably 1000 a year doing it in El Paso alone.
