“Most”

What’s your exact definition of “most”? When you report this is it 2 million stayed? 1 million?

4.5 million illegal migrant encounters. 2.1 migrants expelled. 1/2 million waiting court hearings. What of the 1.9 million illegal immigrants? No mention of the 'got-aways'? politifact your bias favoring the Biden Admin is showing.

You conveniently don't disclose the numbers of those entered without capture [got-aways] that prove Chip Roy's numbers are correct. Why run defense for the administration instead of just stating ALL facts?

Notice how they just put a general “most” estimate. Meaning it is still in the millions of illegals staying in our country

PolitiFact - Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez overestimates Trump tax cuts’ contribution to national debtDonald Trump’s 2017 tax cut added significantly to the federal debt. But three other bills are poised to add nearly as much or more, and each received Democratic support. Except the tax cut focused on helping him and the wealthy. She said that Trump’s tax cuts were the biggest contributor to the debt. Your fact check says that his tax cuts alone added 30% to the debt. Whether it not upcoming bills will contribute was not part of her statement. Either she’s right or you need to better explain. Garbage. Tax cuts do not cause debt. Only spending does.
