Pete Hegseth repeated Trump's false claim that 21 million people emigrated illegally into the United States. On PBS Laura Barrón-López dubunked Trump. The number is closer to 11 million - many of which were immediately expelled. Trump often changed the number in the same speech

@lbarronlopez Can we see the receipts for this assertion? The number is closer to 11 million - many of which were immediately expelled.

@lbarronlopez Do the same for Trump but don’t use him as a source. I’ve seen him change the number a few times in the same. I’ve fact checked this myself multiple time. Even on Fox News they don’t use 21 million. Trump pulled it from thin air.

A rundown of Donald Trump’s biggest campaign promises and whether he has or hasn’t delivered.

@lbarronlopez How do you know how many people came in? There is no accurate reporting. The Biden Administration was lying about the numbers. And people who walked in without contact were obviously not counted. And when PBS is your source, you have failed.

@lbarronlopez It was 11 million in obama years and it’s been millions a year since. Stop ignoring the reality.

@lbarronlopez You are complaining about that but not this..

@lbarronlopez Get it straight there was anywhere between 11 to 22 million illegal aliens in the US when Trump won in 2016. Add to that the 11 million+ under Biden and it gets us from 22 to 32 million today.

@lbarronlopez The Biden admin did not keep track of the true number you dolt. It is IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY what the true number is.

@lbarronlopez Thank you for admitting that you have no clue as to how many illegal aliens are in the country.

@lbarronlopez These are just the ones we know about. The Biden admin was caught today lying about expulsions. The practically let every single illegal that came to the border into our country.

@lbarronlopez PBS??? You mean the same broadcast corporation that admitted they made things up because they don’t like Trump? Got ya
