On Monday, April 5, Fox host Tucker Carlson said on his show “Tucker Carlson Tonight” that the Biden administration is hiding the huge number of illegal aliens and the actual number of illegal immigrants in the United States.
“We are demanding right now to know the real (illegal alien) numbers and why (the administration) is hiding those numbers,” Carlson said.
Carlson said his news team recently arrived at Fort Bliss, a military base on the U.S.-Mexico border, and asked local Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) officials about the number of illegal immigrants living at the base and received no answer. HHS officials assured his team that no military personnel would be working or providing services at the base.
Carlson noted that HHS officials were lying because members of his team spoke with someone with “direct knowledge” of the situation and learned that they had deployed a relative there to “take care of illegal immigrants.
“As of today, the military has built at least six huge tents at Fort Bliss, each with room for 1,000 illegal immigrants, and more are being built,” Carlson said, “and they [the news team] were told not to film the tents. It’s a national security secret, just like a missile site. Why are they hiding this? Because they’re lying to us.”
He went on to say that some troubling things have leaked out about what is happening at the border. The Border Patrol recently detained two Yemeni terrorists who were “on the federal terror watch list. They were crossing into California from Mexico. “They [terrorists] are taking advantage of the total chaos that Biden is creating at the border and taking advantage of it,” he said.
“It raises the question, how many potential terrorists have crossed the border in the last three months without being caught? How many gang members are there? How many rapists and murderers?” Carlson questioned, “You can say you’re not allowed to ask that question, of course you can. But, if you live in this country, you should be asking that question. It’s not racism, it’s a fact that’s happening.”
He went on to ask, “How many pounds of fentanyl have crossed the border and how many Americans are going to die from smoking it? The truth is, we don’t know. We know that Washington keeps lying about the numbers, they tell us there are 11 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, when the real number is three times that.”
“Sources familiar with internal Customs and Border Protection data confirmed to Fox News that so far in March alone, border officials have encountered 171,000 illegal immigrants, a 418 percent increase over last March,” Carlson said, “and that’s not even the total number of illegal border crossers, just the number of people caught caught, just the ones we know about. The real number is much higher.”
“How high is it? High enough to change this country forever. In every way imaginable, high enough to devalue the political power you have as a voter, high enough to subvert democracy itself, high enough to turn this country into a completely different country,” he concluded, “and the sad thing is, we don’t know that number. How did it get to this point? We have a right to know. We demand to know now.”
An overwhelming majority of American adults say illegal immigration poses a direct threat to the United States, according to an Associated Press NORC poll released Monday.
The poll found that 72 percent of Americans are concerned about the direct threat illegal immigration poses to the United States, with 45 percent saying they are “extremely” concerned, 27 percent saying they are “moderately concerned” and only 26 percent saying they are not concerned.
A majority of Americans said they disapprove of the way Biden has handled border security and immigration issues. 55 percent said they disapprove of Biden’s border security policies. Where he has restarted his “catch and release” immigration policy, 56 percent say they disapprove of Biden’s immigration policies.
Since Biden’s “sanctuary state” order, federal immigration officials have been unable to arrest and deport illegal immigrants unless they are recently convicted heavy criminals, terrorists or known gang members. Biden’s order prevents deportation actions that would normally be taken against illegal immigrants and exempts criminal illegal immigrants from federal immigration laws.
