Trumpicans: Do you ever get tired of making excuses for him?

He lies. He prevaricates. He tells untruths, whoppers, porkies, falsehoods and fibs. He makes promises he has absolutely no intention of keeping, to get votes.

Now, having secured a second term, he's walking those promises back BEFORE EVEN BEING SWORN IN.

I hate to say it, but I told you so.

    I picked one. 

    Trump's statement about 21M migrants coming in underr Biden/Kamala administration.  Which you CNN fact says to no way even close. 

    CPB one app.  Nearly 750k now
    1.7M known got aways
    Encounters nationwide...7.5M
    SW Border..6.2M

    Since Biden.  16.15M as of FY 2023

    Https://homeland.house.gov/2023/10/26/factsheet-final-fy23-numbers-show-worst-year-at-americas-borders-ever

    Just encounters at the SW border and Nationwide
    FY 2024..2.9M
    FY 2025...278k
    https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/cbp-enforcement-statistics

    So  19.3M known migrants crossed own border under Biden.

    If you figure just 10% sneak in without any interaction with border patrol at all.

    That in fact brings you to between
    21M to 22M "new comers"

    I'm impressed at your research, but I'm having trouble verifying the math. Is it possible that you are adding nationwide encounters and SW border encounters? Nationwide statistics include SW border. Additionally encounters include migrants who were immediately expelled. I have no interest in debating this. You can claim whatever you like.

    It says AND that means in addition to...Nationwide means anywhere other than the SW Border. 
    Also Got a ways and  those who come on the CBP One app are not included in encounters nationwide or at the SW border. 
    And of course those who successfully sneak in are not counted.

    Tell that to CBP. They seem to believe that nationwide actually means nationwide.
    CBP also seems to think encounters include those who made appointments via the app. And BTW, encounters can count the same person more than once, if they are expelled and try to re- enter. It's much easier to discuss issues when every has the same starting point.

    Looks like my comment requires another rewrite....

    No excuses are required for Trump, he's simply the best. God loves him, and guns, but hates illegals. 

    Hopefully, this one will survive the chop.
