    I would like to see some sources for that number.

    I’m not denying that the perception of the border changed things. But it’s not Biden’s fault people don’t seem to get news about it from anywhere but Fox.

      I’ve seen numbers reported between 8 million and 12 million, with variation leaning high or low by R or D bias, but even 8 million is not far from what I said. Here’s a government source, although this was written before the end of his term:

        “Encountered.”

        A word that is nowhere in the article or any of those it links to defined.

          The lowest estimate I could find was 7.8 million. If you want to go with that, fine. Or show me I’m wrong. Do you really think it wasn’t happening?
