What every side reports

The reported figure for French's comments about students changed across the coverage window — “Social media is exposing how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners” (washingtonsun.com, 2026-09-14 22:40); “I didn’t believe it. The problem is now obviously far worse than anyone imagined.” (texastribune.org, 2026-09-15 00:40). These are sequential reports, not competing claims.
