. . . The reality is that all along the 1954 miles of the US Border with Mexico Hordes of undocumented people are NOT streaming over the border. The Arizona Republic reported that in 2015 170,000 people crossed the border that was ONE TENTH of the number that crossed ten years earlier in 2005. That may be too many but it is no where near the millions often quoted. And it has declined dramatically.

The bottom line is people have been sold a complete Bill of Goods on Fear Fear and more Fear. And that is what the article posted by the OP was about.

This comment carries a very obvious dichotomy.

In your previous post you seem to extol the argument that people crossing the border is an unavoidable event that should be left alone. . . and everything is just propaganda.

However, in your follow up you are contradicting your prior statement.

I posted the article without agenda...of course people are free to create their own conspiracy theories.

I posted it for the benefit to people who may not be aware of it.

Totally nonsensical to kill the messenger just because you did not expect what was in the message.

Well there really is no dichotomy in my posts. And no contradiction.

As for an agenda...the posting of that article with it's clear bias and inferred racism is by and of itself an agenda. A bias. Otherwise why post it? Would you have posted it if it didn't significantly represent your views and feelings? I think not. And if it did not then where was your counter argument against it?

If you goal was to truly enlighten then there are plenty of factual data out there on this issue from the Pew Research Center to major newspapers like the Arizona Republic and others. The source of this article was yours to make. And that tells the story.

And just to be VERY clear it is NOT YOU I am criticizing, it is your choice of source for your information and how that kind of skewed information affects this country negatively.
