Federal lawmakers seeking to pinpoint the number of illegal immigrants who successfully sneak across the southern border ordered up a report from the Department of Homeland Security, but the agency refuses to release it and instead cites a misleading statistic that overstates the number who are nabbed, sources told Fox News.
DHS denied it is holding back the report, but sources say it was completed in November and that it shows roughly half of adults who attempt to cross the border make it - approximately 250,000 in total.
But that number is at odds with DHS’ official estimates. The agency claims authorities catch 80 percent of adults trying to sneak in, but critics say the figure is padded to make it appear border security is more effective than it really is.
"The Obama administration knows that the number of illegal aliens successfully getting across the Mexican border is 158 percent higher than they are telling people," said John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center, who is familiar with the report. "The administration has made fraudulent changes in the numbers to hide this."
If released by the Obama administration, the true numbers could have major implications in the current presidential race, in which illegal immigration and border security have become a key issue, say observers. . . .

Democrats lie. It’s all they know how to do.

Disgusting. Damn them all.
Traitorcongress will do...................................................................................................................................... nothing.
COMING SOOOOON! Friday after Thanksgiving, you won’t see it in the news.
Unless and until congress grows a pair and imprisons a bureaucrat for contempt, the executive will continue to lie and withhold information from we the people.
Another Federal agency now highly politicized and unanswerable to the people its employees are sworn to serve. And still there are those who speak about the Communist and Fascist dictatorships of the past and confidently assure us that such a situation could never happen here. Naive in the extreme.
What these bastards have done to our country is punishable.
The Obama Admin is sitting on tons of reports and if Trump wins they’ll go up in smoke
Up in Smoke,,
Our New National Anthem.
Heh, Jeh, whaddya seh?
Federal government is an enemy of the people.
Here’s the problem with giving Lois Lerner a $129,000 bonus instead of a short trial and a long prison sentence. When I read something like this I immediately think, “Of course the DHS has been corrupted by Democrats. Of course they are trying to hide the report in order to help Hillary.”
