Very relevant to all the VJ member trying to immigrate legally.

Dan Patrick gets slammed constantly, but he's no dummy.

Even with a large margin for error, those numbers are very alarming!

[TBoneTX 45,288]

You're absolutely right.

I would think we are about 8% currently, the Pew etc numbers suggest half of that but they never made sense to me as they show the numbers going down and looking around well how?

 

20% well I suppose that is possible, all depends on Asylum claims and transportation. That is a big unknown and it seems even the more lucid Dems appreciate how that will go down.

 

It is 30,000 a day doing the numbers in my head, and Biden is planning for 18,000 so not that many more.

So what has the temperature got to do with the numbers entering in the summer?

 

I noticed they did not come up with a number I find it hard to believe it has gone down over 20 years

I don't doubt that the math may be wrong, but MediaMatters?  C'mon man!

Remember the rule: 

There are plenty of sources I hold my tongue about.  We should consider the content of the message, not the identity of the messenger, even (or especially) if we don't favor who's communicating it.

 

Hm, thoughtful evening here I suppose. This is what happens when your spouse skips town for a couple of weeks to go home to his other family, you end up waxing philosophical!  

 

And by "other family" I do not mean a hidden sister wife in the mother country. I think.

Yes, well, why do you think he went back??? The "just seeing my daughter for Easter" thing is all a charade, I know it.

Is this like waxing one's legs, huh LL ma'am?  

I know I'm not going to understand women.  I'll never understand how you can take boiling-hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

I read the Media Matters opinion before I made the remark.  Some points could be valid but on that subject it is very hard to know what is factual because there are so many unknowns.

 

My remark was because Media Matters presents as a Fact Checker, but they only fact check conservative stories.  Everything else is ignored.

Absolutely true, Patrick is playing with the numbers and sources, just as Mediamatters is.  The simple fact is no one really knows how many people make it into the US illegally/without inspection, no one really knows what percentage of illegal border crossers are apprehended.  What we do know is that we have a President today that is not enforcing the duly enacted laws of this country.

This sort of trend is the thing that makes no sense to me whatever the actual numbers are.
