Article I read tonight in the NYT. Why has the border been busier the past month? Because reading this alarms me, a moderate Democrat. I see Trump using this to his benefit.[/quote]

No need to be alarmed.  A bunch of families fleeing violence is not a threat to you.  Kim Jung Un continuing to develop a nuclear arsenal unchecked by Donald Trump is a much more serious threat.[/quote]
What exactly did Barack and Joe do for EIGHT years?[/quote]

What did they do? They reduced illegal immigration.

There are three kinds of lies.... lies, damned lies, and statistics.

It is easy to manipulate the data when you change the meaning of terminology related to deportation........

[quote]Somehow, the Obama administration is simultaneously responsible for the highest rate of deportation in 20 years and a 26 percent drop in deportation. [b]What is going on here? As it turns out, changes in immigration law, terminology and classification are causing this confusion.[/b]

One problem is the continued use of “deportation” in virtually all media reporting. In actuality, that category has been obsolete in immigration law since 1996. Prior to 1996, immigration law distinguished between immigrants who were “excluded,” or stopped and prevented from entering U.S. territory, and those who were “deported,” or expelled from the United States after they had made their way into U.S. territory. After 1996, both exclusion and deportation were rolled into one procedure called “removal.” At that point, the term “deportation” no longer had any meaning within the official immigration statistics. Its continued use in media reports is part of the confusion.[/quote]

That's a change that happened in 1996, well before Obama and as such wouldn't account for any new change in the figures during Obama's term.[/quote]
