if you have the best steak house in the world but serve terrible salads, you can't claim your whole menu is the best in the world, nor justify the bad quality salad through the high quality steaks

That tweet is showing numbers of immigrants that were released back into Mexico. A cursory glance at the ICE report (the source for the tweet) would show you that you are being blatantly lied to by people who assume you are a stupid ****ing idiot and would never check their work. Are they right?

per Capita GDP growth is what makes you and your family live better, not total GDP.

if you annex India your GDP grows but given you are going to transfer them a lot of money in perpetuity after annexation, the quality of life of all Americans would decrease significantly.

source your claim about second generation central Americans earning more than American white natives

Does it include near 90% European immigration from 1776-1965?

I say keep the Mexicans, and deport every last one these ****ing Canadians. I've never met one I liked.

Quantitative in economics only gets you so far.

For those that can't read, I literally answered why I came to the USA in my previous post. To work in the field I was interested in at a research facility that specializes in it. And I've added yet another absolutely worthless poster to my ignore list.

For someone who came in guns blazing on this forum falsely whining about logical fallacies you sure do use a lot of them. This isn’t twitter, you’re not performing for the MAGA hivemind. No updoots to be found here.

You are totally incorrect of course, but the point that you are completely missing is that these people shouldn't be entering the country in the first place.

Quote:

More than 13,000 immigrants convicted of homicide — either in the United States or abroad — are living freely in the U.S., outside of Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention, according to data ICE provided to Congress earlier this week.

The immigrants are part of ICE’s “non-detained” docket, meaning the agency has some information on the immigrants and they have pending immigration cases in the U.S., but they are not currently in detention either because they are not prioritized for detention or because ICE cannot find them.

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) — The head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement told a Texas border lawmaker this week that 435,000 undocumented migrants with criminal convictions have been released by the agency to cities around the United States.

The NYT's "The Daily" podcast today makes the case that NAFTA is what lead to the political landscape we have today, moving Democrats away from their core labor support in the rustbelt, with Republicans stepping in to take over.
