I understand your concerns, but the data do not support many of your contentions.

@wordywalt Had I included ‘the data,’ this would have been a far more lengthy piece. Here’s a good location for ‘the numbers’ [numbersusa.com] And sentiment, especially from those fearful of being called/ labeled ‘a racist’ is often difficult to come by. Much of mine was ascertained ‘working’ the Democrat’s party booth in varying sized towns across a large red western county, for many years.. A read of people, exposure to reliable numbers, extended observation, research and job-related familiarity has led to my conclusions.

@Varn The site you list is not a fair unbiase4d site. It is an anti-immigration propaganda site. It is not credible.

@wordywalt It goes out of it’s way to remain credible … but those with preconceived thoughts and desires on the subject have no intention of learning the facts. It’s also the reason I give my own observations and researched examples as opposed to sending anyone to ‘a link.’

Again, it’s sadly obvious when some are looking to nitpic numbers while ignoring the larger, if blatantly obvious picture … though a political tactic I’ve witnessed for ..ever. I follow the same instincts that lead my Atheism - honest observation backed by reliable research. Not much of what I recall came from ‘Numbers,’ and I realized they’d likely become little more than a target, to some, but you asked.

@Varn You have a right to your opinion, but I disagree. Having had 7 graduate level statistics, research design, , and analysis of research courses, I know how easy it is to insert bias into data and into research design and make a study appear credible when it is not.

@wordywalt Agreed, and both sides do it.. Numbers has become the most reliable clearing house of sorts on the subject that I’m aware of. And it hurts to know so many progressives feeling it’s become ‘their duty’ to side with the open borders movement..

I’m actually skipping our monthly democrats meeting tonight because I don’t care to be the only one in the room ‘defending’ the enforcement of our immigration laws. So they’ll come up with some one-sided far-left proclamation our congressional candidate will have to defend this summer ..to folks who know better … thus reelecting one of the most regressive congressmen in the country.. Shit.

Sure.

@wordywalt I've tried to hit like but to no avail. The button is acting up. Thanks for your comment

THANK YOU! We sincerely hope you're right!

Thanks!

It is abundantly clear that every person who finds Trump lacking in character, intelligence, and judgment turn out to vote, so we can embarrass him so badly that he will hesitate to appear in public again. We must also flip Congress to create a government of, by, and for the people again. In all honesty, we need to shame Republican voters into not voting.

@wordywalt Can't imagine THAT happening! They'll all turn out to support the treasonous groper. Should be interesting, yes?

@LucyLoohoo Remember, nearly half of eligible voters chose NOT to vote in the last election. The president lost the popular vote, and less than a quarter of voters elected him. If you can just get over the apathy, it could be overwhelming.
