Border Patrol’s Greg Bovino Absolutely Eats This Reporter’s Lunch [WATCH]

Border Control Commander Greg Bovino forcefully rejected what he described as an obsession with numerical tallies during a response to a reporter, arguing that the conversation should instead center on the deaths of American citizens at the hands of criminal illegal aliens and the responsibility of the federal government to prevent those crimes.

Bovino said the repeated focus on statistics ignores the human cost paid by American families, stating that he is concerned with victims whose lives were lost rather than figures used in policy debates.

He referenced multiple victims by name while criticizing what he described as a detached discussion centered on numbers.

“There is a number, and it’s called all of them,” Bovino said.

“Yeah, you bet all of them were not going to allow criminal illegal aliens to walk the streets and have more Mollie Tibbett, Jocelyn Nungaray, and all the other ones.”

Bovino said the deaths of American citizens should be the primary issue when discussing border enforcement and immigration policy, rather than statistical measurements or timelines.

He accused critics and reporters of minimizing those deaths by shifting the conversation away from the individuals who were killed.

“I mean, you’re worried about numbers,” Bovino said.

“I’m worried about the deaths of Americans. Let’s talk about that a little bit. Maybe Jocelyn Nungaray, what her last moments were like. How can we never talk about that?”

He continued by returning repeatedly to the names of victims, saying their stories are too often absent from public discussions.

“And you’re worried about numbers,” Bovino said.

“Hold on number, numbers. Jocelyn Nungaray. Numbers. But your numbers? Jocelyn Nungaray, well actually, we never hear about her or the other 1000s of American citizens, I’m worried about that vastly more than a number or a date.”

Bovino said his priority is the safety of American families, which he described as “Ma and Pa America,” and he expressed support for President Trump and the Secretary nom’s approach to border enforcement.

He said their focus aligns with his belief that criminal illegal aliens should not be allowed to remain in the country.

“We’re going to make Ma and Pa America safe,” Bovino said.

“President Trump is. Secretary Noem is, and we’re going to get them all.”

Bovino framed his remarks as a rejection of what he sees as an abstract policy discussion that overlooks the real-world consequences of crime.

He said the emphasis on figures and dates fails to account for the suffering of families who have lost loved ones, arguing that those losses should be central to any debate over enforcement.

Throughout his response, Bovino returned to the idea that every victim matters and that focusing on totals or benchmarks misses the reality faced by families affected by violent crime.

He said that public officials and the media should spend more time acknowledging those victims rather than debating numerical goals.

Bovino ended his response by directly addressing the reporter, signaling that he believed he had made his position clear.

“Did that answer your question?” he said.
