(Salon) The country, we were told, is awash with millions upon millions of undocumented criminals and straight-up crazy people, permitted by Democrats and their open borders to roam the land and terrorize the law-abiding white people they were meant to replace.
....(snip)....
In reality, which still holds some influence in our aggressively-online world, there are about 11 million undocumented people in the U.S., total. And despite all-caps propaganda to the contrary, they as a class have substantially lower crime rates than native-born citizens, according to a 2020 study; they even commit fewer crimes, on average, than fully legal immigrants those who came here the right way.

Thats why Stephen Miller is so mad: an administration that wants nothing more than to parade millions of brown bodies onto military aircraft and out of the country a MAGA team that promised its voters nothing less than mass deportations now is having a tough time actually finding the hardened criminals the last folks supposedly let in. In April, the Trump administration deported more than 17,200 people; thats up 29% from a year but its far below the pace necessary to meet the stated goal of one million deportees a year (and per NBC News, more than half of those now in ICE detention have no criminal record whatsoever).

Would you hire someone to remodel your home whose motto is "Move fast. Break shit"?
Or would you hire someone who evaluates your needs, addresses your needs with real long-term solutions, and hires quality people?
