Mr. GROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I one more time plead with the press corps here to report what I thought was the most significant story to come out in the last 2 weeks. And that is, that there were 73,000 got-aways who came across the southern border in October.

So our listeners are aware, there are two large groups that have come across the southern border when we talk about illegals coming here. Some turn themselves into Border Patrol and ask for asylum and are given a court date. But there are other more dangerous ones, the type that are not subject to background checks and may be sneaking across the border with illegal drugs who we refer to as got-aways.

Until last month, the all-time high for got-aways was around 59,000. In one month, we had a 23 percent jump to 73,000. That ought to be a banner headline in every newspaper across the country. And the fact that it is not, should make the entire Washington press corps ashamed of themselves.
