Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said Sunday he wasn't sure where President Donald Trump got the information about the number of illegal immigrants in the U.S. posted in one of his tweets.
'I'm not exactly sure where the president got that number this morning,' Mulvaney said on CBS' 'Face the Nation.'
Mulvaney was asked about a claim Trump made, where the president charged there are 25,772,342 illegals in the United States.

President Trump was driving home his argument on illegal immigration on Twitter Sunday morning
The president gave no indication where he got the data for the number in this tweeet
'We are not even into February and the cost of illegal immigration so far this year is $18,959,495,168. Cost Friday was $603,331,392. There are at least 25,772,342 illegal aliens, not the 11,000,000 that have been reported for years, in our Country. So ridiculous! DHS,' the president wrote.
President Trump provided no indication where he received the data he cited.
Roughly 11 million undocumented residents are estimated to be living in the United States.
Mulvaney did argue the number has to be higher than that because of the number of illegal immigrants who enter the U.S. every month.
He conceded the 11 million number was accurate at one point but argues it has risen in recent days.
'I think that number was accurate a couple years ago and we know that it's going up because, we know for example, that 60,000 new illegals are coming across each month for the last three months. Again a number that is not made up. That is a real number. So we know the number has to be larger than 11 million,' he said on 'Face the Nation.'
'I've seen ranges as high I think of 30 or 40 million. I'm not exactly sure where the president got that number this morning. But I think what you see him trying to do is point out how silly this debate is,' he added.
Mulvaney, the budget director for the United States, did not address the cost numbers the president cited in his tweet.
President Trump pounded home his desire for more border security on Twitter Sunday morning in the wake of his deal with Democrats the reopened the federal government without the $5.7 billion needed to fund his border wall.
He repeated his favorite new slogan, tweeting: 'BUILD A WALL & CRIME WILL FALL!' with a video from the Republican National Committee where ranchers, at an unspecified point on the border, complained about crime and drugs allegedly brought across the border by illegal immigrants.
The president also touted a case out of Texas that was talked about on 'Fox and Friends' Sunday morning.
Texas elections officials said Friday that they identified roughly 95,000 non-U.S. citizens on voter rolls going back to 1996.
Roughly 58,000 of the suspected non-citizens are believed to have voted in at least one Texas election.
'58,000 non-citizens voted in Texas, with 95,000 non-citizens registered to vote. These numbers are just the tip of the iceberg. All over the country, especially in California, voter fraud is rampant. Must be stopped. Strong voter ID! @foxandfriends,' Trump tweeted Sunday morning.
President Trump repeated a charge out of Texas about voting fraud
Voting Rights groups have questioned the Texas numbers
The Texas Tribune tweeted information challenging the claims
Voting rights groups challenged the accuracy of the Texas count.
'There is no credible data that indicates illegal voting is happening in any significant numbers, and the Secretary's statement does not change that fact,' Beth Stevens, voting rights legal director for the Texas Civil Rights Project, told the Associated Press.
The Texas Tribune is also questioning the numbers.
'Those 95,000 registered voters are individuals who the state says have provided some form of documentation that showed they were not a citizen when they were obtaining a driver's license or an ID card,' the paper noted.
'Of those 95,000, 58,000 individuals cast a ballot in one or more elections from 1996-2018. That is a 22 years. That does not mean the state is saying 58,000 non-citizens voted. We do not yet know if any of those 58,000 are really non-citizens,' it wrote.
Congress returns to Washington D.C. on Monday and federal workers will be back on the job after the 35-day shutdown, the longest in American history, came to a close on Friday.
Mulvaney refused to get into specifics of what Trump will demand when both sides return to the negotiating table this week to work out a longterm funding plan to see the government fully funded through the next fiscal year.
Legislation passed by the Senate and House Friday night - and quickly signed by Trump - funds the government through Feb. 15. It also creates a bipartisan, bicameral committee charged with negotiating an agreement on border security as part of a new spending bill for the Homeland Security Department.

Mulvaney refused to answer whether or not Trump would take less than the $5.7 billion he demanded as his original price to reopen the government - the amount he needs to build a border wall.
'This is not something where the president's married to a number, he's married to border security,' he said on 'Fox News Sunday.'
'The president's commitment is to defend the nation, and he will do it either with or without Congress,' he noted.
Democrats have refused to give the president the money he needs to build a wall.
The acting White House chief of staff indicated Trump is willing to shut down the government yet again.
'Yeah I think he actually is. Keep in mind he's willing to do whatever it takes to secure the border. He does take this very seriously,' Mulvaney said on CBS' 'Face the Nation.'

‘I’m not exactly sure where the president got that number this ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
