Why not just cite the post number where you give a link to the 49% number? Wouldn't require more than 3 key strokes.

Why can't people read the page before this one?

That has been debunked, and the debunking has been mentioned previously in other threads in the P&OC forum. Illegals actually commit more crimes than 'their native equivalents'.

More nonsense

https://www.factcheck.org/2018/06/is...or-less-crime/

There are a dozen more all of which indicate that illegals are relatively low on crime.

Even Camarota the champion of anti immigration has admitted it is not knowable with the existing data.

Trump has already issued a statement to the Gov. of Honduras and others that if they do not stop the caravan then they will face loss of further funding.


Trump wrote. "We have today informed the countries of Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador that if they allow their citizens, or others, to journey through their borders and up to the United States, with the intention of entering our country illegally, all payments made to them will STOP (END)!"





My question is who is funding these caravans? How can 1500 people walk thousands of miles with small children? What do they drink, eat, where do they go the bathroom? Are there buses to shuttle them along?

Imagine the mess they would leave if they were to march down your street?


Why are they leaving their country in the first place? Who is encouraging them? Who is organizing them? Who is paying for their supplies?



Politically speaking I have a feeling that this group will be reaching America the day before the mid terms and how they are handled (the Dems) are hoping poorly ie. splitting up families again and this mess will be fresh on the minds of voters as they head to the polls.



What a mess.
Those people have been crossing those "imaginary" borders for thousand of years, before the invasion of the Puritans AKA Pilgrims. Not sure why are you outraged about this?
Those borders are only 150 years old.
Read history. !

Ummm...In case you didn't notice, these days we have countries. All countries have borders and immigration laws. Those who want to move to a different country are expected to obey the immigration laws of said country. Don't believe it? Pick another country besides the US. Then either sneak into that country or overstay your tourist visa. I seriously doubt that things will go well for you when you try this.

"Flawed data" is anything a right winger does not agree with.
