I never really questioned the estimates on undocumented immigrant numbers that are floating around, but what's the actual source on those?
The real number is 11 to 12 million, according to Pew; GOP was doubling that in their lies. Real research also suggests the criminal rate is lower than US average, but again, GOP inflates that number by magnitudes.
That said, when called out, they just say "illegally entering makes you a criminal". They're also arguing legal immigration is illegal (e.g. those granted asylum) so their numbers will naturally be higher under that incorrect definition.
Has ICE considered just lying about their numbers? It's not like anything this administration is doing has any basis in reality anyway.
Or even better .... they are fudging their numbers but still can't raise their stats high enough
Gop? Lying? Just out in the open? So blatantly? No! Say it ain't so!
They almost certainly are.
They'll just start deporting random Americans to random countries.
That sounds like a lottery, and some people might be sent to a Scandinavian country, basically winning the lottery.
My great-great-great grandfather came over from Germany in 1870. I'm not sure he did it legally so I volunteer to go back
If I was working for Trump I would be lying my ass off while looking for another job. However it could be argued that staying and lying to him might be good for America.
Don’t answer your door (or your phone) ever, for anyone you don’t know.
GENOCIDE HARDER!! — MAGAts.
This is scary because ICE will have incentive to just deport anyone in order to hit a quota.
