Hawley raises alarm after border gotaways exceed Kansas City, St Louis populations combined last fiscal year
Fox News
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is raising the alarm about a massive number of "gotaways" at the southern border last year, after a new Congressional Budget Office report found that the number exceeded two Missouri cities.
"These "gotaways" outnumber the combined populations of Kansas City and St. Louis, the two largest cities in Missouri," Hawley said. "At the very least, you owe the American people full transparency into what your Department knows about illegal immigrants who have entered our nation without being stopped or tracked."

The CBO report had found that DHS had not released official estimates for FY 23, but Mayorkas himself had testified that there had been over 600,000 gotaways. It then cited media reporting that the number was over 770,000.
