Greg Casar questions border patrol agents

Published | Video Starts at 00:37

How many of them are found with fentanyl? Do you know that number? Yes or no, sir? Thank you for the question. I do not have that number. I have the number from Border patrol. It is 0.02%. That's less than 1/2 of 1. Half of 1%. That's so little. You couldn't see it on a typical graph if I had one behind me. (00:37–00:43)

CLAIM

Asserts that only 0.02% of those arrested by Border Patrol for unlawfully crossing the border are found with fentanyl.
