FAKE NEWS? Illegal immigration in Southwest doubled over past four months.

More than 30,000 illegal immigrants were nabbed in August, up 22 percent compared to July and up nearly 100 percent compared to April, when fewer than 16,000 illegal immigrants were arrested by the Border Patrol or stopped at ports of entry by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers.

The numbers are still lower than they were a year before under Mr. Obama, but the gains Mr. Trump made in his first months in office are dissipating.

Actually, I’m not sure you can read anything into these numbers. July of 2017 should be compared to July of 2016 — not to the previous month of the same year. Month-to-month figures are probably worthless for a variety of reasons.
