3.2 million illegal crossings in 2023 is a free for all. No two ways about it.There was a record number of apprehensions during those years, yes.
But the fact that there were apprehensions proves that it's not a free for all. If there was, there wouldn't be any apprehensions at all and border agents wouldn't exist. Surely you can understand this.
Maybe the "there's a free for all!" line really means "there's not enough apprehensions for my liking!" but a lot of people really do take it literally.
