Oh, someone asked me to add more facts, about immigrants' impact on the budget. Here are the baseline estimates from the National Academy of Sciences (https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration …).pic.twitter.com/XPpSWtwg7r

And someone else asked to see the recent immigration breakdown by education status. As you can see, low-skilled immigration has collapsed (due to the collapse and reversal of illegal immigration).pic.twitter.com/DYZWskRgsU

In fact, Gordon Hanson, Chen Liu, and Craig McIntosh have a whole paper about the collapse of low-skilled immigration in recent years: https://gps.ucsd.edu/_files/faculty/hanson/hanson_publication_immigration_risefall.pdf …

These people don’t give a damn about facts. They care about the distortion field they can craft around their base.

I prefer to live here. How many illegal immigrants live in the US? The fact is you don’t really know. No one does. They are undocumented, as you like to call them.
-
If no one knows then no one can claim that there are more of them coming in to the US then before either

Of course you’re correct, but it doesn’t change anything. You’re missing the point entirely. Trump has his own facts and his base is spoon fed them like pablum. They eat it up. The facts don’t matter in a post-factual world. He and his admin lie with impunity without consequences

There *is* an immigration crisis: people don't want to come here like they used to. And can you blame them? That's what's scary.

BTW, you missed one "low hanging" fact: Since the USA is at its largest population today ~320 million people, the percentage of immigrants is lower than at many (most?) times.

I wish more people would call out the absurdity of this manufactured crisis. Avenatti tweeted yesterday about our southern border being overwhelmed as if it were fact. Not a fan, but he's supposed to be a "fighter" & lawyer. We do have real problems, but nonsense gets more likes.
