You know, usually we’d click on over to the Washington Post and read their fact-check of President Trump’s address on border security, but after reading this tweet, we’re going to give that a hard pass — there’s absolutely no reason to give them the time.
Fact-checking Trump's address: "266,000 aliens arrested in the past two years": The number is right but misleading https://t.co/VMCxT4GNDM

Yeah, so? The arrests included nonviolent offenses — nonviolent offenses that wouldn’t have happened if the people who shouldn’t have been in the country weren’t here. How is that “misleading”?
