Wrong. Illegal immigration across the southern border is way way down, just a small fraction of what is was at the peak of 2000-2001. This has been widely reported. I guess facts don't matter?

2 mares, you might want to read this link that you posted in defense of your claims.

I did. Jeff Flake quoted 90% consensus has it between 30 and 40%. There seems to be a higher incidence of no shows for juveniles. Specific areas can show 80-90% no shows.
That is why I posted multiple links. Statistics vary somewhat but its safe to say between 30 and 40% never show for their hearing. These are numbers from a few years back. My guess is now that percentage would be higher.


My claim was that there is fact, evidence, statistics that those here illegally often don't ever show for their hearings, not that the rate is 90%. 40% is pretty substantial.

whether 50 or 90% it's still not acceptable.

Ha, " only 25% " don't show up. so 25% are illegal illegals . As far as lawyers go they are coming out the ass in cities across the country .Some time someone owes you something see how you act when they only give you a "solid 75%.

Thanks for the ancient links. Let me ask the question again: Do you have a link saying asylum seekers don't show up in court / asylum hearings?

If they think they have a case they will show up. If they think they will be deported why would they show up?

Most of the Democrats on this board are gone or have been banned so you won't be getting much of an answer to your question. Eventually all the Trump fans will be agreeing with each other and there will be no dialogue.

Did you read those reports? The last one citing numbers given by Sen Flake show 90% numbert to be extremely doubtful. Lots of Fake News! out there! Some talk of backlogs in the courts? HOW can cases be backlogged if no one's showing up?

Because their illegal relatives are already here and have a stolen social security number waiting for them.
