Just watch the first 2mins of this video ... https://www.cnbc.com/video/2019/01/09/watch-cnbcs-full-interview-senator-marco-rubio.html I wish this 'funding for 10 initiatives' was more spoken about. I haven't heard this before.
The reports I have seen show illegal immigration is down not up, so can you explain your math for "growing exponentially?"
Leaving aside your misapplied math terms, I'd like to see something different than this. I'm reminded of that great Supertramp album from, what? Mid 70's? Yep --1975. Came out under Ford. Imagine that.
Reading their methodology is interesting, but just out of curiosity, how accurate could those numbers be when you have sanctuary cities actively working against the gov? Do you think they're really reporting the true numbers, or even reporting at all?
Well, at least they do an undercount adjustment and a calibration to the 10-year census, but for sure, the numbers are estimates. The general process is similar to how most others do this (except those that base totals on head of household data from ACS). Its just that the only subgroup increasing at all is Central America, and its not exponential, and damn, its not even 2x linear. I am hoping ryoung will illuminate us with his "everything I've read".
Exponential can be as little as two And that’s still almost 11 million people that shouldn’t be here.
Now you know there's no place for facts in these threads. https://www.politifact.com/californ...-true-visa-overstays-account-half-all-people/
Straight from the Border Protection website. It would seem it's more of a divide by 2, not multiply by 2. See the yellow line on the bottom. https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/media-resources/stats (U.S. Border Patrol Apprehensions From Mexico and Other Than Mexico (FY 2000 - FY 2017))
Not to stir the pot without cause, but am I supposed to automatically assume there is an absolute tie between the rate of apprehension and the rate of illegal immigration?
Funny they keep talking about need for more border officers, judges, immigration workers while in 2000 they arrested 1.6 million and 2017 300k is crisis they cant keep up with.
I suspect there is. How ever the correlation would be variable. When a caravan comes then the capture rate would be higher in comparison. When you are looking at VISA overstays I suspect the correlation is poor at best.
