Trump’s ‘manufactured’ crisis, part two…
A report from One America News prompted me to do a follow-up on my previous article, to correct what might have been some mis-information. The estimate of 3 million illegal immigrants crossing our borders this year came from a well known newscaster, but may have been incorrect. This report from OAN seems to be more in line with information shared by Secretary Neilsen, who says illegals APPREHENDED for February and March of this year are about 75,000 and 100,000 respectively. That number DOES NOT include those who were not apprehended.
It would be good to also update the information on numbers of illegals ALREADY in our country. I used information from 2015, which showed about 11 million. Updated information brings that number to nearly 26 million. That is an increase of about 15 million over 3 years or so. That would make it about 5 million each of those years. You can draw your own conclusions on what numbers are correct.
One additional bit of information you might find interesting is the COST of these illegals in the US. It approaches 58 BILLION so far this year. That makes the cost of a barrier (or wall) seem insignificant.
One more correction on my previous article… I said illegal number would be equal to the populations of 3 large American cities. I was mistaken. Illegals in America equal the populations of the TEN LARGEST CITIES IN OUR COUNTRY, listed above.
We can argue about the numbers. We can dismiss the murders, sex trafficking, drug dealing and other crimes by illegals. We can malign the President’s rhetoric. We can be critical of the handling of illegals.
BUT…
… reasonable people can not deny we are dealing with a crisis.
