Alex Jones Live reported on Oct. 12, 2026, that a Cato Institute report found monthly legal entries into the United States fell by approximately 145,000, while illegal entries declined by 53,128.
The source says the report’s count of illegal entries includes Border Patrol arrests, including people who were immediately removed. The excerpt does not identify the months compared, explain how legal entries were measured, or provide additional details about the report’s methodology. The figures therefore cannot be independently assessed from the supplied material alone.
The reported figures indicate a larger numerical decline in legal entries than in the illegal-entry measure cited. They do not, by themselves, establish the causes of either decline or provide a complete picture of immigration flows.
