PDB Situation Report | January 25th, 2025: The Border Crackdown Has Already Begun & Trump Cleans House in DC

mainly, I think, out of fear of Trump, they are saying, look, we'll play ball with getting rid of these non-Mexicans as long as you help pay the costs and we don't end up stuck with them here.

Our estimate is, and some of our allies don't like it because it's not high enough, but our estimate is at least 8 million, maybe 9 million illegal immigrants, most of them actually taken into custody and then let go on purpose.

But then an additional two, maybe three million who got past the border patrol because the border patrol was busy being a Walmart greeter for all the other illegal aliens and they couldn't do their own job. So, eight to nine million, I think is a plausible number. And remember, some illegal aliens already here left during that time. So, that wasn't the growth in the illegal population.

That was just a number of people who came in. And you've just pointed out that known gotaways could be upwards of two, possibly as high as three million. I mean, nobody really knows. Well, the known gotaways are, yeah, two, two and a half million, but there's unknown gotaways because the term gotaway is people that they know crossed. They have photographic evidence, sensor hits, something.

It was less than four years of Trump, although it depends on how you count who was deported. And I don't mean to get into the weeds, but remember, there was something called Title 42 during COVID, where the border patrol could just bounce people back. Didn't matter whether you said asylum, schm-asylum, it didn't matter, they just threw you out.

those bulked up the numbers for Trump, I mean, for Biden, frankly. So, we're going to see significant numbers of people, but it's not just numbers, it's who's getting deported. Because they're starting, they're pursuing a worst first policy, you know, the gangbangers and what have you. But most illegal immigrants aren't gangbangers, they're just regular working students. Right.
