Mother Jones: Fact of the Day: Border Apprehensions

Kevin Drum does love his graphs. Here's one showing border apprehensions during the trump regime. Yes, there was a spike, but now it's back to what it's been for the past decade.

The big difference appears to be children in cages. All to get where things have been since 2011.

So, four years later, with the country in turmoil, he managed to build a whopping 5 additional miles of border wall, and apprehend the same number illegal crossers has the Obama administration. What he's calling new wall is 300 miles of repaired/replaced wall. 300 miles in four years. 75 miles per year. Ho hum.
