You’ve heard the headlines: record border crossings, talk of an “invasion,” and political promises of mass deportation. But what do the numbers actually say?

In this episode, we cut through the chaos to look at what’s really happening at the border. Spoiler: while border encounters are at historic highs, the undocumented population in the U.S. has barely changed in over a decade. We dive into why that matters, what Title 42 did, how the U.S. is spending billions on enforcement while underfunding immigration courts, and whether undocumented immigrants are truly fueling crime, or just filling jobs no one else will.

Topics covered:

  • Why “border encounters” don’t mean more people are staying
  • How Title 42 created a revolving-door effect
  • Where the immigration budget really goes
  • The truth about undocumented labor and crime
  • Why the system is broken — not open
