I understand what you mean, but 600,000 gotaways + 25,000 refugee applicants is only = 625,000. Who are the other 1,375,000 people from this "2 million?" Members of the media are usually intelligent enough to separate asylum seekers from illegals, but sometimes they fail to do so. Initial Fox News reports regarding the migrant bussing were saying that the people on the buses were "illegal immigants." I think that was a proofreading error, but I'm not sure. --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/08/26 (Linux/64) * Origin: CompuBBS | Ashburn VA | cfbbs.scinet-ftn.org (1:275/99) .
