Which, as you know since you admitted to watching the debate, was that these people were here legally.

If CBP One is written in such a way that it grants legal status by default, it is still just called "legal status." There is nothing "faux" about it.

in any case the fact that the GOP only agreed to do this without fact checking should turn everyone off of there bullshit. It wont... but it should

and the fact that he tried to recover after being cought out isn't the flex you think it is.

No, because Republicans view “fact-checking” as a partisan thing. Liberal lies, not objective truth.

Of course knowing if something is most likely true or not is bad...
