I’m more inclined to believe the news report is lying rather than Trump.
I won’t believe ANYTHING they say until I see them put exactly the accusation they report as a question to the administration, and the administration tries to make a distinction without difference for an answer.
Are you forgetting the whole election campaign?
I saw the report on CIS. Immigration is their thing and they track it religiously. And I’ve never seen them lie. They also used a government report for their stats.
