"This is not a manufactured crisis," Nielsen told the House Homeland Security Committee. "This is truly an emergency."

She added, “The projections are dire. The agency is now on track to apprehend more migrants crossing illegally in the first six months of this fiscal year than the entirety of FY17 (fiscal year 2017), and at the current pace, we are on track to encounter close to one million illegal aliens at our southern border this year.

“No rational person would design an immigration system like we have today,” Nielsen continued. “It’s dangerous for Americans. It’s dangerous for migrants. It undermines our nation’s values. And it fails to uphold our fundamental obligations to the American people.”

Actually CNN has caught up but buried the numbers deep in the article.
