The border crisis numbers in context

Joe Biden’s border crisis is so large, its scale is hard to imagine. Including “gotaways,” there have been over 6.1 million illegal border crossings since Biden took office.

• CONTEXT: That’s larger than the population of every city in America except New York and larger than the population of 31 states. In fact, that number is more than double the population of Chicago.

Compounding the problem, we learned this week that 1.3 million illegal “gotaways” have escaped into the U.S. under Biden. We don’t know who these people are, where they are, or why they entered the country.

• CONTEXT: If these “gotaways” all lived in the same city, it would be the 9^th largest city in the country.

But while Republicans work to stop Biden’s border crisis, where are Democrats? Boycotting hearings on the border.
