Fox News reported that according to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection source, there were 919 gotaways on March 31.
"NEW: 919 known gotaways recorded at the border yesterday, per CBP source. 7 day average of known gotaways: 761 per day. Reminder: Gotaways are not recorded in the official public border numbers reported each month. CBP tracks internally after seeing/detecting them," Fox News Channel's Bill Melugin tweeted.
Last month, during an interview with CBS News' Camilo Montoya-Galvez, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Jason Owens expressed a deep concern about those who slip through the cracks. "That is a national security threat. Border security is a big piece of national security," Owens said.
