AT> I googled "2 million illegals" and found these (among other articles): AT> The Texas Tribune: "2 million arrests at the border" AT> https://tinyurl.com/4r39frk2 AT> Source for the #: "senior Biden administration officials" Yeah... Those were unsuccessful attempts, seeing as they were arrested. AT> Axios: "2 million *encounters*" AT> https://tinyurl.com/2p83j2b2 AT> Source for the #: Customs and Border Protection data Again, those were unsuccessful attempts.

And if they're getting arrested, it's because AT> they did something illegal, and if arrested by CBP, then it's because AT> they're illegal immigrants. Being arrested does not mean that one has done something illegal, only that one is suspected of doing something illegal. AT> I could be wrong, but it seems like these "2 million" arrested migrants AT> are in addition to the "600,000+ gotaways" reported by CBP. They could be. But you have to remember that the Border Patrol counts "encounters," not people. If the same guy tries unsuccessfully to cross the border every day for a year, that's 365 encounters, not 365 people. AT> JT> Do you have any evidence of "migrants" eating dogs or stealing jewelr AT> JT> Statistically, immigrants to the US commit less crime than US citizen AT> Yes, it's been in the news. I alrady linked to the dog-eating article in AT> another message, here's a link to migrants killing elderly Americans for AT> their jewelry: https://tinyurl.com/32zufzpv AT> There have been other similar stories (illegal migrants fatally robbing AT> elderly for their jewelry) but there's 11 elderly jewelry murders right AT> there, all from just 1 of Biden's uninvited guests. The US has its own serial killers, too. I believe two have been captured recently, or maybe one is still at large. We also have mass shootings almost daily. It's unfortunate that this person killed 11 people for their jewelry, but in the bigger picture it's just a drop in the bucket for US murders. AT> JT> Ah, good old Fox News. That sounds like a rather unreliable source. T AT> JT> woman, who did not witness any crime, first said that "they" killed t AT> JT> dogs in order to steal something, and then changes it to "They are li AT> JT> robbing stuff or killing animals to eat." AT> JT> Do you have any actual witness accounts of this incident? AT> If you love your pets you will lock your doors. Note also that she said that they killed two *dogs* but are eating *animals.* She didn't specifically say that they were eating dogs. They very well could have killed and eaten animals that were being raised specifically to be, well, killed and eaten. AT> JT> AT> Fatal jewelry robberies are a common occurrance. AT> JT> And not just by "migrants." AT> They have a calling in the jewelry-murder industry because they are here AT> illegally and can't work. When you're stomach rumbles, and you can't AT> work, and murder is easy to get away with where you're from, then how do AT> you feed yourself? No, they don't. They actually call attention to themselves personally when they murder people, which is not something that most of them want to do. (And here we're talking about actual illegal immigrants, not refugees.) AT> JT> AT> JT> Can you read?

We were talking about "more fentanyl with Joe than Trump, due to Joe's border policies." Now, who was carrying this 1700 lbs. of fentanyl? AT> JT> You specifically accused Biden of "making black people hate white AT> JT> people." The border patrol is making seizures, as you've pointed out.

(It's less effective! That's why all AT> the migrants!) The CBP was complaining that they didn't have enough officers under Trump, too. The number of migrants is not reflective of the number of illegal immigrants. The number of refugees coming from Central America may ebb and flow while the number of non-refugees may be influenced by a completely different set of factors. And again, most fentanyl entering the US is at legal points of entry, transported by US citizens. Perhaps the fentany enforcement is more effective because the Border Patrol has changed some aspect of how they do things.
