Thank you Open Border Democrats!

  1. Abolish ICE, Decriminalize illegal border crossings (Beto wants this), Walls are racist (Beto said this), end deportations, allow illegal immigrants to vote (currently happening at the local level in Boston and San Francisco).

    This validates Trump's original estimates (see article). One other thing before I go, Beta O'Dork a.k.a. Open Borders Beto is not going to win.

    MIT-Yale Study Doubles Estimates of U.S. Undocumented Immigrants

    The U.S. may have double the number of undocumented immigrants as commonly estimated, according to a new study that has the potential to further fuel the debate over one of the nation’s most politically charged topics.



    While the U.S. government and several outside groups have put the number of undocumented migrants at about 11 million or 12 million, the paper issued Friday by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Yale University gives a “conservative estimate” of 16.7 million in 2016, with an average simulation of 22.1 million.


    That comes close to Donald Trump’s
    assertion during the presidential campaign that the real figure could be as high as 30 million. Having the new numbers in a study from academics at two of the nation’s most prestigious universities may offer Trump and other immigration critics ammunition on an issue that helped him ride to election victory in 2016.


    The paper’s authors wrote that they drew on “previously unavailable data” for their estimates. They examined figures on border apprehensions and visa overstays to infer the number of undocumented arrivals. They also reconstructed population outflows by looking at data on deportations, voluntary emigration and death rates.

    In contrast, the “most prominent current estimate” of 11.3 million -- cited by the Pew Research Center -- is based on survey data, the authors wrote. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security gave an estimate of 12.1 million as of January 2014.

    They should send more; I want all these Trumpklins around me displaced. I'll take the illegals over them any day of the week.

  3. You are in Canada, you don't have "Trumpklins" there do you? If you are a Canadian that moved to NY then what part of NY are you in that has Trump supporters???

    If you are an American then thank you for being an honest Open Borders Democrat.

     
  4. Sounds like you are repeating things Ted Cruz said he said.

    The thing about lyin' Ted..

    Midwest, that's all I'll say. In any case, the 20 million number has been thrown around for close to a decade, so this study shows nothing new.
     
  6. Who was "throwing around" these numbers for the last decade besides republicans? You act like this is old news yet it is making headlines on non-political and non-right leaning sites (Bloomberg in this case).

    Trump was said to have over estimated the number of illegal immigrants and now you are acting like these validated numbers are old news?

    The motivation for the MIT and Yale studies originally were to actually show that Trump had wildly over-estimated the amount of illegal immigrants in the USA. The data proved them wrong and rather than bury the study they made it public.

    Trust me, if the numbers came in low we would be hearing about Trump and his wild over-estimations.
     
  7. Trumpklins won't be the only ones displaced. I could spend all day here posting youtube videos with African Americans who are being displaced (their jobs and housing) via illegal immigrants.

    You are naive if you think "Trumpklins" are the only ones being displaced by illegal immigration. It is happening to African Americans, you sold them out for illegal immigrants. They know what's up with Open Border Democrats who use them for their votes.

    You think I care what color the Trumpklin displaced is?
     
  9. You are very naive if you think this only displaces Trump supporters. There are many African Americans who do not support Trump who are dealing with the outcomes of Open Border Democrats. This woman is not a Trump supporter.
