    The underlying claim for that data came from a site that got banned from Twitter, and whose entire history appears to be pointing out how dangerous minorities are.

    https://datahazard.substack.com/notes

    not to mention currently even by his own chart that isn’t true, and it appears it happened under Trump as well.

    but carry on.

    Tell me you’ve been radicalized without telling me you’ve been radicalized. Happened to my father in law. Guy is completely off his rocker now because of YouTube.

    I'm kind of shocked you believe this bullshit. Actually, no, not really.

    so why do some people, who, as you say have been expelled multiple times not get the message they are not doing the right way?also, whether encountered or actually entered it still takes man power and money to do either

    Because under Title 42, there was no "right way." We were refusing to abide by our asylum obligations.

    I'm not against opposing points of view because people should always challenge their own notions. But why is every right wing talking point on this forum from either YouTube, Twitter, or some weird fringe website? It's like reasonable right wing sources aren't real anymore.

    The source data for most of his charts are from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol. Bottom line, has illegal immigration skyrocketed to record high levels under Biden? According to CBP, it has.

    Depends what you are measuring.
    This is the chart,
    IMG_0276.png
    He is first basing it off contacts. There are going to be more contacts if we have more agents there, fewer people slipped through. And more have been added in recent years.
    But more than that, he isn’t subtracting out expulsions in his claim. Those skyrocketed. I would assume that flatlined for the last quarter because they didn’t have data yet. But take those out and the numbers are comparable.
    He also conveniently ignores that blip where something similar happened under Trump.

    we can have real conversations about how proud the southern border is without resorting to this kind of stuff.

    It's a bait and switch. Expulsions were what the federal government did using Title 42 to avoid its asylum responsibilities. Of course they went to zero when Title 42 ended. That's why they were at zero before Title 42 started. You'll notice this person didn't include a line for "removals" or "deportations," because it's all about misleading people. This is why it's so important to get information from credible, knowledgeable sources.

    (Additionally, this person intentionally didn't include the Bush years when illegal immigration was at greater levels than it is today. See chart below.)
