Ann Coulter: Four myths the media and politicians tell you about our border crisis
By Ann Coulter, opinion contributor — 05/20/19 10:30 AM EDT
Every single thing the mainstream media says about the border crisis is a lie.
Media Myth #1: Illegal immigration at all-time low!
Most Americans hear that and think, Trump got us out of bed for this? There are FEWER illegals coming in?
As you might have surmised from the illegals flooding your hospitals, schools and churches, that’s a lie. According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), illegals have been pouring across our border at rates not seen for more than a decade: 76,000-plus in February, 100,000-plus in March, 100,000-plus in April, 100,000 and climbing so far in May.
In fiscal 2016 — the 12 months before Trump won the presidency — an average of 46,000 illegals crossed the border each month. Today we’re taking in twice that many.
And those are just the number of “undocumented immigrants†we caught. How many are actually getting in is some multiple of the illegal aliens the Border Patrol stops.
