Good! You do that little thing. Finally, as answer worth the data bits on the interweb.

22 million!? You must have studied at the Trump School of Economics. So, 30K got past our crack staff of border patrol agents. Wow! Well, I guess that's why Trump built all those tents that cost us several million dollars to erect.

By the way, who's running those "detention" facilities? Are we detecting a pattern yet?

Deadline is today.
Did they arrive at the Border yet?
Did the busses break down?
Did the busses return for another load?



What deadline?

22 Million illegals didn't happen overnight.

The big joke on everybody is that while people were paying attention to 4,000 Hondurans for the last few weeks, 30,000 other illegals crossed over.

Womp Womp

There's been at least 10,000 illegals crossing over into the country every week on average for decades to get where we're at now.




You're right - there's no fixing your broken logic. Illegals have been crossing the border - as you say - for decades. So why was it suddenly such a big issue for Trump and his base? FEAR mongering perhaps? You really going to say it was something else? Meanwhile, Dems and Non-Trump citizens were more rightly concerned with Health Care.

Only 12.2 Million if you don't count their kids born here illegally, which I do. No more anchor babies soon though, so hopefully we can retroactively fix that number to reflect the true state of things.

Healthcare for the middle class has risen around 350% for insurance since the ACA was enacted.

But hey, maybe you guys can fix it in the next 2 years now.

I seriously wish you all the luck in the world. Let me know how it goes.

I wouldn't be so snide if I were you, because you're absolutely wrong. BTW, I was the one who first quoted the figure of 22 million, and I heard it on NPR so it must be right.

Yale, MIT study: 22 million, not 11 million, undocumented immigrants in US
By Rafael Bernal - 09/21/18 04:38 PM EDT

The undocumented population in the United States could be twice as large as the most commonly-used estimate, according to a research study published Friday in the scientific journal Plos One.

The paper, led by Mohammad M. Fazel-Zarandi, a researcher at Yale and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, estimates there are 22.1 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Fazel-Zarandi's study compared inflows and outflows of immigrants as well as demographic data. According to the report, the number of undocumented immigrants could be as low as 16.5 million, or as high as 29.1 million.

SHINY, also ...

Yeah, I agree. Fuck them, why should we care if Putin interferes in another country's elections.
*insert sound of screeching tires here*

SHINY, everybody knew that Yanukovich was close to Russia. It's not like he was some deep dark secret; everyone knew who they were voting for when they voted.

And do you really think that us fomenting violence and picking the Ukrainians' next government for them was a good move ... for them? I mean, look where they are now: Did we really do them any big favors by "interfering" in their internal affairs?

IMHO there are almost no justifiable reasons to foment revolution in another nation. I don't care how hinky you think their elections were or whether you think their choice was bad: With few exceptions, violent "intervention" is the worst option

They won't be here for a Month or so Sig but don't hesitate. You and your friends should get your plane tickets now, so you can get a good spot from which to throw rocks at the women and children as they approach. You sick fucking bitch.

Won't need a plane ticket, THUGR, since I'm a mere 2-hour drive from the border.

I have a better idea, tho: I'll give them bus tickets to YOUR hometown.

Say, what city do you live in?
