As DACA's fate heads into a crucial week, it's still unclear whether the president fully grasps the key numbers and definitions behind the divisive issue. FactCheck.org's Robert Farley joins Cheddar to break down exactly how many people DACA affects, and what it really means. He traces the president's history of getting his numbers wrong when describing the overall population of Dreamers.
The president is on the record saying he's heard varying numbers on the DACA population. Trump approximates the number as somewhere between 650,000 and three million. Farley reveals the accurate figure, and why politicians are so likely to misrepresent the numbers.
Then, we discuss Senator John Cornyn's (R-TX) claim that America is, "the most generous country in the world when it comes to legal immigration." Farley acknowledges it's true that the U.S. gives permanent legal status to more immigrants than other industrialized nations.
