“By anyone's definition, by any measure, right now we have a crisis at our southern border,” former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said on “Cavuto LIVE” on Saturday, citing recent stats that “there were 4,000 apprehensions in one day alone this past week, and we're on pace for 100,000 apprehensions on our southern border this month.”
“That is by far a greater number than anything I saw on my watch in my three years as secretary of Homeland Security,” he said.
You know what causes more people to leave their country and migrate here? Cutting off aid to the country, which Trump did.
In March of 2001 there were 220,000 southern border apprehensions. March of 2006: 160,000. March of 2016: less than 40,000.
This isn't a crisis. It's just an uptick because of poor policy choices.
