In a recent appearance on NBC's Meet the Press, Senator Marco Rubio was asked if he supported Donald Trump's plan of building migrant detention camps and deploying the U.S. military to deport the more than 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country. Before going on to state his support of the plan, Rubio first rebutted host Kristen Walker's stats by offering his own:

"Eleven million? That's an outdated — that was the number 10 years ago," Rubio said. "We're talking upwards of 20, 25, maybe 30 million. There's been almost 10 million people that have entered this country in the last three years."
