    Well Goddamn Huntzy!

    How many weren't convicted because they simply disappeared?


    A reasonable question too.

    Point is that all of the details in any statistic need to be reviewed,
    often with a fine tooth comb, to see if these details are shaping the
    picture.

    Its part of the basis of "lies, damn lies, and statistics".

    Agreed. Often when I see statistics that don't match the 'sniff' test I look for what they aren't telling me, or what they carefully excluded from the study.

    Sometimes, it's not even the study itself.. but the person reporting it that is twisting it.


    Indeed.
    Most people don't have the time to delve into the questioning, sample rate, sample demographics and so forth so they falsely depend upon the media to present the analysis.
    And some of them are spinners for sure.

    I actually like Steve Kornacki from, wait for it, MSNBC.
    He is generally very fair in presenting data and analyzing it.

    No, scooter, it is not. That is purely a *civil* matter. As I have instructed you many times, scooter, the vast majority of "undocumented" persons are visa overstays, *not* people who entered unlawfully. Illegal entry is a (minor) crime, scooter, but unlawful presence is *not* a crime. If someone enters lawfully on a visa and then stays beyond the visa expiration date, upon being detected by ICE, that person faces *no* criminal consequences, scooter.

    You're just wrong, scooter, and you compound your wrongness by your intensely stupid stubbornness. Unlawful presence is not a crime, scooter.

    You let them get jobs and work.

    So your 'solution' is to encourage them to commit yet MORE crimes?

    Immigrants are more law-abiding than native-born citizens, scooter,

    They can't legally get a job or work.. So how is the MORE law abiding
    when you tell us they are doing it?

    The kind of crime you and the other Republiscum/QAnon are talking about, scooter, is violent crime, not trivial immigration law crime.

    And when "trivial immigration law crimes" turn into illegal aliens
    committing non-trivial violent crime.. which do we blame?
    Further once we have ignored the first crime, and the second and the third
    and so on.... at what point do you think we should apply the law?

    So the violent crime was a direct result of refusing to enforce the
    immigration laws.
    Which enforcement seems to be to be a mandate in Art IV, Section 4.

    If we had started enforcement with the 1st crime.. none of the others would have occurred.
    Seems a lot easier than waiting until someone is dead....


    and among immigrants, the undocumented are more law-abiding than the
    documented.

    No, actually they aren't,

    Yes, scooter, "actually" they are.

    because being undocumented is a CRIME

    No, scooter, it is not.

    Yes, it is..

    That is purely a *civil* matter.

    So you admit it is a civil CRIME?

    That's means it's still a crime even if it were purely civil, but it's not
    and the punishments including not only fines, but imprisonment, which by definition makes it part of criminal law.

    As I have instructed you many times, scooter,

    I love how you brag about your inability to learn from your mistakes.

    the vast majority of "undocumented" persons are visa overstays, *not*
    people who entered unlawfully.

    Ok, so we agree those who are undocumented are criminals.

    Well, as far as the overstays, those include penalties that range from civil
    to criminal. So simply saying it is never a criminal matter would be a lie. Since some overstays have been and will continue to be subject to criminal charges for their overstay.


    Illegal entry is a (minor) crime, scooter,

    So it's a crime. When means we can prosecute them for it.

    but unlawful presence is *not* a crime.

    What part of "unlawful" do you not understand?

    What part of a civil crime do you think isn't a crime?

    If someone enters lawfully on a visa and then stays beyond the visa expiration date, upon being detected by ICE, that person faces *no*
    criminal consequences, scooter.

    They can. However, let's suppose it's a simple case of overstay without anything that would merit criminal charges, then yes it will be purely a
    civil crime. But civil crime is still a form of crime.


    You're just wrong, scooter, and you compound your wrongness by your
    intensely stupid stubbornness. Unlawful presence is not a crime, scooter.

    However, illegal entry is. ref 8USC1325

    Since we are talking illegal border crossings and thus illegal entry......

    https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/raging-controversy-border-began-100-years-ago-180969343/

    The Raging Controversy at the Border Began With This Incident 100 Years Ago In Nogales, Arizona, the United States and Mexico agreed to build walls separating their countries

    In early August 1918, Felix B. Peñaloza, the presidente municipal, or
    mayor, of Nogales, Mexico, ordered construction of a fence running along
    the boundary line between his city and Nogales, Arizona. The fence would consist of six wires strung to a height of six feet. His intent was to
    direct the flow of people crossing the border through two gateways, to
    make it easier for a growing number of soldiers, customs agents and
    other officials to oversee transborder movement. Peñaloza also met with
    U.S. representatives to discuss a second, parallel fence, to be built by
    the Americans. Mexican officials said they “would welcome the building
    of such a fence by the United States Government, as it would aid
    officials on both sides of the line in enforcing their regulations,” and they insisted that “such action would not be irritating or offensive to Mexican sentiment.”

    Today a ten-mile-long rusted steel border wall is a defining feature of
    the cities. Its origin story begins with these two fences. When they
    were first erected in Nogales a century ago, they were neither a brazen political statement nor a barrier to immigrants, but a cooperative
    measure, embraced by both the United States and Mexico in the spirit of “good fences make good neighbors.” But the proposed American fence
    became what was most likely the first permanent barrier to control the movement of people across the U.S.-Mexico border.
    But on August 27, 1918, soon after Mexican workers had erected the fence
    in Nogales, conflict broke out when an unidentified man attempted to
    cross into Mexico. A U.S. customs inspector ordered him to halt, but he
    did not stop. Officers on both sides of the border raised their guns,
    and a firefight broke out. About two hours later, at least 12 Mexicans
    and Americans had been killed, including Peñaloza, who had built the
    fence precisely to minimize the risk of conflict between the nations.

    Ironically, despite his failure, U.S. officials in Nogales, Arizona,
    soon went ahead with plans for their own fence—which quickly became a
    model for controlling the movement of people across the U.S.-Mexico
    border. Following Nogales’ lead, officials in Calexico, California,
    erected a fence that ran two miles along the boundary line there. By the 1920s, fences were a fixture in most border towns.

    Over time, the fences were put to a new use. In the 1940s, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service coordinated with the
    International Boundary and Water Commission to erect chain-link barriers
    on the border. More fences, a border patrolman later acknowledged,
    forced unauthorized migrants through dangerous mountains, deserts and
    rivers “around the ends of the fence.” The U.S. expansion of the fencing in the 1990s doubled-down on this strategy, leading to a dramatic
    increase in the number of migrants who died attempting the treacherous crossing. Thus the fences and other barriers that stand along much of
    the U.S.-Mexico border now mark not only an international boundary but
    also a humanitarian crisis.

    You are correct.
    Even back in the late 1800's - 1900's when Ellis Island was a main port of entry checks limited by the technology at the time were performed. Cough, have a fever etc and you were at best quarantined at worst sent back on the next ship.

    Also something most people are not aware of but the passengers were actually vetted prior to their journey and this was logged in the ship's manifesto.
    Basic information of course, criminals, known bad actors and so forth.
    Again this was limited by the technology at the time but it was the best they could do.

    Compare this to the current situation due to Biden/Harris.
    I want asylum.
    Ok, you are in.
    While the US citizens were wearing face diapers during COVID these people had no such official restrictions.
    Think about that.

    My grandma came over from Western Europe with my mom in tow as a new born. Her husband had passed away.
    She had like $10.00 to her name, did not speak English at all and had no skills.
    But she was hard working and honest and smart.
    She taught herself how to read and speak English by looking at the comic strips in the papers and connecting what the characters were doing to what they were saying.
    She started off scrubbing floors as a housekeeper for a very, very well known multi-billionaire.

    After some time she was put in charge of his entire staff of housekeepers, butlers, personal assistants and so forth because she was honest and hard working.

    When she finally retired, the family left my grandma a good number of shares in their Fortune 100 company so she ultimately ended up quite wealthy.
    When she passed in the 1980's, the family paid for her funeral.
    There is a lot more but that demonstrates a true example of the "American Dream".

    Compare this to many of those illegal migrants crossing the border, getting cellphones, free medical care, free housing,free education and so forth while our veterans are suffering.

    It's disgusting.

    The Raging Controversy at the Border Began With This Incident 100 Years Ago >> In Nogales, Arizona, the United States and Mexico agreed to build walls
    separating their countries

    In early August 1918, Felix B. Peñaloza, the presidente municipal, or
    mayor, of Nogales, Mexico, ordered construction of a fence running along
    the boundary line between his city and Nogales, Arizona. The fence would
    consist of six wires strung to a height of six feet. His intent was to
    direct the flow of people crossing the border through two gateways, to
    make it easier for a growing number of soldiers, customs agents and
    other officials to oversee transborder movement. Peñaloza also met with
    U.S. representatives to discuss a second, parallel fence, to be built by
    the Americans. Mexican officials said they “would welcome the building
    of such a fence by the United States Government, as it would aid
    officials on both sides of the line in enforcing their regulations,” and >> they insisted that “such action would not be irritating or offensive to
    Mexican sentiment.”

    Today a ten-mile-long rusted steel border wall is a defining feature of
    the cities. Its origin story begins with these two fences. When they
    were first erected in Nogales a century ago, they were neither a brazen
    political statement nor a barrier to immigrants, but a cooperative
    measure, embraced by both the United States and Mexico in the spirit of
    “good fences make good neighbors.” But the proposed American fence
    became what was most likely the first permanent barrier to control the
    movement of people across the U.S.-Mexico border.
    But on August 27, 1918, soon after Mexican workers had erected the fence
    in Nogales, conflict broke out when an unidentified man attempted to
    cross into Mexico. A U.S. customs inspector ordered him to halt, but he
    did not stop. Officers on both sides of the border raised their guns,
    and a firefight broke out. About two hours later, at least 12 Mexicans
    and Americans had been killed, including Peñaloza, who had built the
    fence precisely to minimize the risk of conflict between the nations.

    Ironically, despite his failure, U.S. officials in Nogales, Arizona,
    soon went ahead with plans for their own fence—which quickly became a
    model for controlling the movement of people across the U.S.-Mexico
    border. Following Nogales’ lead, officials in Calexico, California,
    erected a fence that ran two miles along the boundary line there. By the
    1920s, fences were a fixture in most border towns.

    Over time, the fences were put to a new use. In the 1940s, the U.S.
    Immigration and Naturalization Service coordinated with the
    International Boundary and Water Commission to erect chain-link barriers
    on the border. More fences, a border patrolman later acknowledged,
    forced unauthorized migrants through dangerous mountains, deserts and
    rivers “around the ends of the fence.” The U.S. expansion of the fencing >> in the 1990s doubled-down on this strategy, leading to a dramatic
    increase in the number of migrants who died attempting the treacherous
    crossing. Thus the fences and other barriers that stand along much of
    the U.S.-Mexico border now mark not only an international boundary but
    also a humanitarian crisis.

    You are correct.
    Even back in the late 1800's - 1900's when Ellis Island was a main port of entry checks limited by the technology at the time were performed. Cough, have a fever etc and you were at best quarantined at worst sent back on the next ship.

    Also something most people are not aware of but the passengers were actually vetted prior to their journey and this was logged in the ship's manifesto.
    Basic information of course, criminals, known bad actors and so forth.
    Again this was limited by the technology at the time but it was the best they could do.

    Compare this to the current situation due to Biden/Harris.
    I want asylum.
    Ok, you are in.
    While the US citizens were wearing face diapers during COVID these people had no such official restrictions.
    Think about that.

    My grandma came over from Western Europe with my mom in tow as a new born. Her husband had passed away.
    She had like $10.00 to her name, did not speak English at all and had no skills.
    But she was hard working and honest and smart.
    She taught herself how to read and speak English by looking at the comic strips in the papers and connecting what the characters were doing to what they were saying.
    She started off scrubbing floors as a housekeeper for a very, very well known multi-billionaire.

    After some time she was put in charge of his entire staff of housekeepers, butlers, personal assistants and so forth because she was honest and hard working.

    When she finally retired, the family left my grandma a good number of shares in their Fortune 100 company so she ultimately ended up quite wealthy.
    When she passed in the 1980's, the family paid for her funeral.
    There is a lot more but that demonstrates a true example of the "American Dream".

    Compare this to many of those illegal migrants crossing the border, getting cellphones, free medical care, free housing,free education and so forth while our veterans are suffering.

    It's disgusting.

    They have used our noble chapters of history to drive a Trojan Horse
    invasion this time.

    24,000 Chicoms...12,000 Russians...untold thousands of other terrorists
    - all poised to take those SAMs that made it over the border and begin
    their war from within.
