Just 3.5 percent of over 127,000 illegal youths arrested on the U.S.-Mexico border over the last two and a half years have been returned home, sparking Sen. Jeff Sessions to bark at a Senate hearing, “Give me a break, who’s running this country? Aren’t we entitled to have a system of laws?”

At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the topic of the two recent surges of minors across the U.S. border, Sessions provided the new numbers: 127,193, apprehended over last two and a half years and 4,680 returned. He later added, “97 percent of unaccompanied minors evade deportation through administration lawlessness.”
