No Excuses Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 2 minutes ago, Sacks 'n' Stuff said: As compared to when? As compared to the last fiscal year, there is definitely a surge in more families appearing at the border seeking asylum: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/05/us/border-crossing-increase.html But it really isn't a crisis when put in historical context: Quote Understanding what is happening on the border is difficult because, while the numbers are currently higher than they have been in several years, they are nowhere near the historic levels of migration seen across the southwest border. Arrests for illegally crossing the border reached up to 1.64 million in 2000, under President Clinton. In the 2018 fiscal year, they reached 396,579. For the first five months of the current fiscal year, 268,044 have been apprehended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they being stopped or just processed? Next you will tell me they get deported and leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have great admiration for the effortless waning between “Democrats did all the same stuff as Trump” and “Democrats just want illegals pouring over the border.” At least the being full of **** part remains consistent in the messaging.

PeterMP Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 (edited) 2 hours ago, twa said: You seriously don't know that illegal crossings are up? No, I don't. Do you? The number of children coming over the border is up and that's almost certainly tied to changes in policies of how we treat adults that come over with children vs. those that do not. But I haven't seen any evidence that there has been much of a change in the total number of people coming over the border. Much less more people that aren't being stopped to indicate that border security is really failing. Edited May 31, 2019 by PeterMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 Well, now, let's be honest, here. The US government pays for tariffs. If you're a highly visible industry that still supports Trump, even though his actions are harming you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twa Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Quote Pentagon to counter China threats by funding US rare earth mines The US has long had the resources to mine rare earth elements present within the US. there are mines in California for example where the elements are extracted and shipped to China for processing. A Texas operation is also being developed. http://prairiepundit.blogspot.com/2019/06/us-responds-to-chinas-threat-to.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
