[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the admin was smart, they would deescalate, pull out, and head to a cooperative red state like TX with lots of illegal immigrants. Make a big deal of the difference in working with a cooperative state.

However, the admin is NOT smart.

Agree that the administration is full of morons but posters need to stop saying this. They [i]are[/i] in Texas and they [i]are[/i] in Florida. And the states [i]are[/i] cooperating. There just aren't as many (any?) protesters to piss them off with a phone or a smile or their mere presence. So we are not seeing this kind of aggressive response.[/quote]

Please post the number of illegal immigrants apprehended in Texas. [/quote]

I have been checking independent sources (TRAC from Syracuse) and I look at DHS numbers, which I don't trust at all. The disparity in numbers is enormous. I am inclined to think that the first is accurate and the second is a total fiction. But for the purpose of my point, it is relevant to point out that [i]both[/i] sources show Texas as the leader in number of detentions.

Of course this makes sense in a lot of ways starting with size of state, proximity to the border, and sheer number of immigrants. I don't think Texas is being targeted or punished the way the Blue states are selected in an openly vindictive way. But I don't want people to keep repeating an inaccuracy.

State cooperation with ICE: As one might expect, states that mandate local collaboration with federal law enforcement often have higher levels of ICE arrests, with places like Tennessee, Florida, and Texas among the most extreme examples. To understand the impact of changes to immigration enforcement this year, our analysis  compared arrests made between January 20 and May 20 to those made between May 21 and October 15. We found that Texas has the highest overall ICE arrests in this data, and their ICE arrest rate nearly doubled from the first to second period, from about 58 per 100,000 state residents to 110 per 100,000.[/quote]

How many of those arrests in Texas are of people actually here illegally? Or people who have actually committed crimes? Just plucking brown people off the streets isn't really a metric of anything positive.[/quote]
