Welcome to today's edition of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton show podcast.

All right, second hour Clay and Buck kicks off into this moment.

Thanks for being here with us and we told you we dive in immigration. We're going to do that right now.

So the number is stunning, but I have to say not surprising. Order patrol putting out that

in the last month, September of 2023, last month for which we have data.

You have an all time high, they call them encounters. Understand that every encounter is actually

the act of an illegal crossing. We have we have border crossings. We have footbridge. We have

roads. We have ways to get into the country legally. People are just coming across the border.

And the number, which is a violation of federal law and the number of people who did so in

September is an all time high of 230,000, 230,000 people crossed into the US last month alone.

This is stunning. Remember, you're adding that to the call at 6 million who have already entered

the country in three years of Biden's first Biden's term. Let's hope just term one.

Three years, about 6 million, 230,000 last month. To put this into perspective, everybody,

the official number and they used to base this off of census data has been roughly 11 million

illegal certainly for the last decade. Now, that number I always thought was low and I've actually

clay had the experience of asking members, long time members of Border Patrol, what do you guys

think about that? 11 point something million number and they all laugh and they're like it's

double that at least, at least because they just say look what we're seeing every day, do the math

yourselves. There's not some mass self deportation that is going on. So when we start to compile the

looking at the numbers, you will have had a almost 50% increase in the official number of

illegals in the country over decades occurring in three years of Biden. So it took us, let's say,

from the early 90s to 2010, it took us that period of time to get to about 11 or 12 million
