    One month is obviously the length of time it takes to determine trends.

    If you really think that, then there's no use having a rational conversation with you regarding this. Just don't expect others to live in Fantasy land...

    Concerning border crossings, being down 95% is a hell of a number. But I guess if you are in favor of having an open border, then maybe that upsets you...

    Except for egg prices. They need way more than a month there. It really depends on if it is good or bad news.

    Oh my goodness! We gave up trying to have a rational discussion with you guys years ago because it’s too much like trying to reason with a petulant toddler. We’ll just keep hitting you with reality while you clench your teeth while jumping up and down in a child-like rage.

    People really come her for jobs or to escape persecution. We should have an orderly way to address both. Sadly, the right squashes every move toward rational reform and would rather just demonize people from "shithole" countries - Trump's words.

    Whose "you guys"? I have never voted for trump in my life. But, securing the border is a good thing. You keep wanting open borders, well, that's a you problem. Glad we finally have the border somewhat under control. Back to your rage texting...

    I'm sorry, was there a change in how people who want to come to our country legally? If not, then you are just making up shit.

    The border’s quiet, and Cleveland’s cold.

    Was there a change to how someone from another country wants to come here legally? You know, as opposed to just sneaking across our border criminally?

    I have no doubt that before long more and more Trump voters will deny ever voting for him.

    Of course I am. That’s the one thing you guys do best besides projecting is lying. This is common knowledge. As far as hating goes that may be true for some, but for most of us we’re just baffled how anyone could still support the MAGA movement when it’s doing the exact opposite of making America great again.

    K. Now I'll treat you accordingly. You hate. It's ok. At least own it. Again, just because I want a secure border doesn't mean I voted for trump. But congrats on not being able to understand that.

    Guess the Coyote they interviewed isn’t funny or nuanced enough to understand your ‘trend’


    On Thursday’s broadcast of “NBC Nightly News,” NBC News Senior White House Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez reported on a conversation with a human smuggler in Mexico who he said told him that “Trump’s stricter border policies have caused his business to plummet about 80% since Inauguration Day.”

    Trump’s border czar now says they’re down to 229 a day, down from a peak of 11,000 a day during President Biden’s term. Marcos is a coyote, a human smuggler in southern Mexico who’s concealing his face and last name. The troops won’t make a difference, he says, it’s foolishness, but he does concede Trump’s stricter border policies have caused his business to plummet about 80% since Inauguration Day.”

    Gutierrez also stated that Marcos told him he might have to raise his prices.

    It’s not an accusation, it’s fact because it’s a characteristic in Trump his supporters admire.

    Trump’s lying and indecency are evidence to Trumpers that he will do whatever it takes to be their messiah, and they love it. His supporters envy his ability to say whatever he wants and his ability to get away with it. So rather than being repulsed by it the right now considers lying, especially Trump’s lies, a virtue that must be copied. It’s what demagogues do.
