On Tuesday, Customs and Border Protection released new data on the number of attempted border crossings in February, with the number of apprehensions and “inadmissibles” — people turned away at border checkpoints — climbing to more than 76,000. “Perhaps the most famous invasion in the history of the world — D-Day — 73,000 America troops landed in the D-Day invasion. We have 76,103, according to my numbers, apprehensions on our southern border last month. We have a D-Day every month on our southern border.”This is a bad analogy, for more reasons than you might think. On average in this fiscal year (beginning in October 2018), there have been 53,608 apprehensions per month.
