Yes. Absolutely. You can critique the methodology and the mathematical model CBP uses but it’s based on verifiable evidence and good math. While the range is great and varies, it’s the best account we have. It’s certainly better than one based on household surveys. There is no way and I mean no way to verify the study you cited.
There never were ICE/CBP agents in Mexican territory with government authorization, let alone the "border moved" into Mexico. DEA agents, sure, all the time.
To clean this up, we had an agreement with Mexico to do the interdiction and asylum screening on their side of the border. It’s true it wasn’t our agents doing the work but it was our program: https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/04/20/we-pay-mexico-catch-refugees-kids-suffer# And, yes, this is what I mean by moving the border. Having the asylum screening and interdiction take place on Mexican soil. It dramatically reduced crossings.
yeah, sure, we've done the carrot/stick "enforce your immigration laws" w/them, Trump in fact ramped up those efforts.
No. That is excremental thinking on your part as usual. What counts is the net number of arrivals minus turnarounds. Work on it a bit. We are in a crisis. Stop the verbal diarrhea and show us some evidence that the potato head president and the douchebag vp are even remotely in control. You think kamalas about-face message to the people of Guatamala is going to turn anyone around? If so, you are an idiot. The world is laughing at Joe the demented potato and the northern triangle people and leaders are laughing at douchebag kamala. She radiates weakness and confusion.
Man, this be ugly. I am not feeling the love between the sisters of color here at all. That interviewer looks like she has a low tolerance for bullshiite. And having a low tolerance for bullshiite and interviewing Kamala Harris is not a good combination. Frosty. Very, very frosty there.
I don’t know if Trump had asylum screening on the Mexican side or not. My understanding is he pulled funding and attempted to seal the border with Saran Wrap, and of course that led to major surges.
Right. That’s the implication of knowing turnarounds. And, as I explained, right now we are holding up pretty well. Theoretically, Biden can hold title 42 authority for years. There’s a bit of a cushion there to work some things out with our Central American friends.
The border has totally collapsed and is total chaos. Other than that "we are holding up pretty well." Shuffle the deck any way you need to, but the number of illegals reaching the interior of of America, never to be deported is MASSIVE AND GROWING BY THE HOUR. Your script tells you that you we are holding up pretty well.
