This is a distraction being fed to people so they don't spend all their time wondering why Russia meddled in our 2016 & 2018 elections and Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump won't do anything about it. This sums up the mind of the liberal better than I could have. We know Russian meddling amounted to facebook trolls that did not alter the election. We know there are hordes of people illegally entering the US. But to get a label like 'crisis' it has to go against the interest of the Left wing party. Here's a thought experiment, how would you feel about an armada of Russians landing on the Atlantic coast and reading the same few sentences requesting asylum? 1 Link to comment

I showed it that carries no water. It's surreal living in a border state to here people deep in the middle say there is no border crisis. Every hour the not too partisan local news reports another story from the migrants. Sexual assault, disease, unsupervised children etc are all the known side effects of allowing a mass migration of the 2nd world trying to get into the 1st. And the Ds have done whatever is necessary to prevent a solution knowing every truck means more future bloc voters for the next 50 years. Sexual assault, disease, unsupervised children etc are all the known side effects of allowing a mass migration of the 2nd world trying to get into the 1st. You are incorrect. There is zero evidence that crimes by immigrants are high, or that areas that they reside are experiencing more crime. In fact study after study proves that they commit less violent crime than citizens. You can dislike them coming over for whatever personal reason, but it's just that. They're not voting illegally, they're not increasing crime or disease ... blah blah blah.

Here's a thought experiment, how would you feel about an armada of Russians landing on the Atlantic coast and reading the same few sentences requesting asylum? I don’t think you know what a horde is, there is no evidence that illegal immigrants are voting, and Russians move to the U.S. all the time. I work with some. I’ve had professors from Russia. I’ve eaten dinner at Russians’ houses. I don’t automatically think a large % of them are going to murder, rape, cause diseases, influence elections or spy for Russia, because that would make me a moron. I wouldn’t be much more bothered if it was poor Russians coming here, but we have more reason to suspect Russians of illicit activities based on what their government has done in the past and what Mexico’s hasn’t. And a lot of the people you’re talking to aren’t liberals. They’re just able to discern facts rather than be duped by fairytales meant to rile up the easily manipulated. 3 Link to comment

There is no evidence of this, and immigration is trending way down over the last 20 years. Even still, the biggest amount of people here illegally are people who overstayed their VISAs. Not people crossing the border. 3 Link to comment

Notre Dame Joe Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Quote On Wednesday, CBP reported "off the charts" figures for the number of migrants apprehended at the border in April. 109,144 people were encountered trying to illegally enter the U.S., up from 103,719 in March and a 160 percent increase over the previous year. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/border-apprehensions-to-reach-13-year-high-in-2019-report 1 Link to comment
