We have the secretary we have the secretary responsible for securing our border and our immigration system, who doesnt recognize these charts as big a problem. I find that extraordinary and extremely damming and im all for legal immigration, but what we have done instead is just opened the doors we speak of lawful pathways in support of them, and yet the prior administration tore those down too before we discontinue the blame game here. How many children were processed over a three year period through that program? Be pleased to provide that data? I think its about five thousand children Steve right, exactly lawmakers.
