I'm wondering if he's referring to 1,000,000 or so who are caught at the border each year and deported? I'm also wondering if this is really six million persons or is it one million persons caught six times each? And or also wondering if this same six million (if this is the right number) didn't also keep trying until they made it and therefore now make up one-half of the twelve million that are supposedly here? And how do we know we haven't double counted and thus this same six million (which actually may only be one milllion persons caught six times each) don't make up the total of the twelve million? Hmmmmm?
I think the 6 million "deported" are repeat deportations. They get picked up near the border, deported, picked up again the next night, deported, picked up again, deported, etc. until they actually, finally evade Border Patrol and make it to the areas where there is no immigration enforcement. And they don't just do this one year until they're finally in. Many return home and come back and do it all over again. They might as well say "banana" instead of "6 million" because that's all that number is worth. The number I wish someone, anyone had, was the actual number per year that violate the border. But we'll never get that number until the border is under control. I would also like to know the actual number of illegal aliens living within our borders. The 12 million number being used is likely very low and there's no way that anyone can actually know since they're hiding and many will stay hiding unless a blanket amnesty and free citizenship is given. Of course, we don't want that, so many will never register and will stay in the shadows and we'll never know. We should never have allowed them to come in and think that they could stay here in the first place.
There's a great question for a White House press briefing. But I don't know which one (question, that is).
