As was pointed out upthread, the number in question is only a rumored part of the package, which has been denied by negotiators.

I read Lankford's comments. They're hardly a denial.

But your statement is wrong even apart from that. Trump has not limited his opposition to just that point - he has expressed general opposition to the Congress reaching an agreement with the Administration on border controls.

I doubt his statement was that nuanced.

Plus, it's worth noting - over and over again - that asylees are not illegal immigrants, but are allowed to request asylum and remain in the U.S. lawfully until their request is adjudicated.

And has also being said, they're illegals who know exactly how to game the system. Come on.
