Here's what happened today.

ICE arrested 50,000 illegal immigrants in August, a record for the second month in a row. A federal audit found Medicare paid 587 million dollars for over the counter drugs that pharmacies billed as prescription only. At a House hearing on sanctuary cities, crime victims looked Democrats in the eye and told them you guys are not sorry. And new Census data shows the foreign born population fell by 2.9 million this year, the largest drop on record.

Four stories. One pattern. When the government finally enforces the law and counts the money, the numbers move fast.
