Thank you border czar

A DHS spokesman told NBC News in a statement: "The data in this letter is being misinterpreted. The data goes back decades; it includes people who entered the country over the past 40 year or more, the vast majority of whose custody determination was made long before this administration. It also includes many who are under the jurisdiction or currently incarcerated by federal, state or local law enforcement partners.""

Nah, impossible!

When context added, the figures being pushed by TWK, ###Salty and the other guy and attributed to Harris are bullshit. Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

That's what good journalism is for and IMHO a bureaucratic state. That's why it's important to stick with reputable, independent and sometimes foreign news sources to check how slanted the data politicians are giving you is.

FOX, I guess.

And swallowed hook line and sinker by those worship at that altar. And then sworn to by our pals on the other side of the aisle.

Is that a problem or just the state of play? Does it matter.

I will fully agree with this statement. You really hit a home run when mentioned Republicans, Democrats, and Independents all do it.



I'm going to use a hurricane analogy. Say there is a storm in the chute between Yucatan and Cuba and the storm is churning water in the Gulf of Mexico. Now living in the Houston/Galveston area, it's the last thing any of us need, no matter where we live. Now say CNN and ABC have the storm headed to Galveston while some other news outlets have it headed to Lake Charles Louisiana or down south to Corpus Christi. People may just naturally watch the other news outlets to avoid hearing about Galveston getting hit. The same can also be said of polls. As a conservative I check out the Trafalgar polls, where someone else may not like what they show the view other polls, maybe CNN or NY Times polls. This is just human nature. Then again it takes a bit of time to realize the Bloomberg polls have zero confidence by either party. Bloomberg weather would have the storm in the Gulf making landfall in Point Barrow Alaska.

OK, I'm not being sarcastic, however which news outlet can actually be trusted to deliver the news using integrity? Democrats don't trust Fox or Newsmax, plus there may be some I don't know about. As for myself, I don't trust any of the main stream media. With the debates ABC could've done a great job and may have gotten a million or so new viewers, instead they blew it on the national stage and it's costs Muir over a million viewers. Actually CNN is being more understanding and moving toward the middle, but this may just be short term.


I do feel the MSM has led to two assassination attempts on Trump calling him all sorts of names and saying all sorts of things about him. There should be a point to where when the rhetoric gets to a certain spot, something needs to be done. Trump isn't Hitler and the cunts on the view and a cunt like joy reid makes things worse.


I can't speak for the democrats here, but I can only speak for myself. I detest harris about as much as I can detest anybody. I feel she makes America very unsafe and I hope she gets beat in a landslide. HOWEVER, in no manner do I ever want to see her get hurt or get shot. and if she did, I would feel nothing but the greatest sorrow and compassion for her family and friends, and hope the shooter either gets the death sentence or life without parole. I would be very upset if this happens.


Yes, I support Trump and feel he is the right person for the job, but make no mistake, he is an arrogant asshole. I feel like he will bring back world respect for our country, which is better than harris getting elected and Putin and Xi warming up their ICBM's a day or two after she gets inaugurated.

Sure, everybody gets it wrong. Everybody does it.

Just not on this one, which is what we're discussing, right?

My news sources of choice are:

The New York Times
The Washington Post
The Wall Street Journal
PBS
NPR

Most are left of center and the Journal is what I use when I want a different perspective. I have confidence that the facts presented are accurate. The choice of stories however are definitely slanted to the left.

As to Dear John's original post, the best source by far for reporting on the cartels and crimes they commit is Borderland Beat. And a lot of what they write is fucking scary. Expect it to get even worse, in Mexico and the USA, as Claudia Sheinbaum and Puppet Master Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador emasculate the Mexican judiciary and police and let the cartels run rampant.

What specifically does the cartels have to do with the OP’s point? Or are you saying that the criminals who the OP referenced are somehow involved with the cartels.

And with net immigration of "other-foreign-nationals" (see Gristle and my links to CBO reports in LustyLad's thread) now at 2.4 million/year, up from -500,000 to +600,000 in 2001 to 2020, there's plenty of opportunity for cartel members to slip back and forth across the border.

We're hopefully never going to be as bad as Mexico, but if the politicians don't change the status quo we're going that direction. I've read horror stories in Arizona about cartel activities.
