    I'm not familiar with the source, but it agrees with me so it's probably good.



    EDIT: I found something else that said 52 years + whatever else we find. I found another source that said the 32 years but was dated in 1980. So like most environmental/climate data.....no one fucking knows shit.
    You'll have to do better than an unknown source that starts with "It is argued" and no reference to by whom or what their data or credentials are. Then he waxes poetic about WTF, exactly? Cassandra of Troy?

    I mean... I guess that's funny, but not evidence.

    Then you admit you're making an irrational argument. Whether or not you say the words, it's what you've done.
    Your position boils down to base nationalism. You don't want them illegals here, 'cause they're not from here, so they're bad for here.
    If that's the whole of your argument, and there's literally no data or reality to back it up, then ... thanks for sharing. Run along, now. The grown-ups are talking. If you're not going to bother to ground your thoughts in reality, then your opinions on how we should work toward our best future are moot.

    If you can't state a rational reason for your position, then you're not in the conversation. You're on the sidelines with the rest of the rabble, reacting to the whimsy of fake news that appeals to you.

    If you want to be taken seriously, you can't behave like an idiot.

    Oops. Wrong arguement.


    I mean. Your position boils down to, I have no idea, so I'll just throw anything out there and stir up some shit.
    Still not a rational argument.

    Your position ..... nationalism.
    Why's that bad?

    no data or reality to back it up
    Dey tuk er jobz!!

    If you can't state a rational reason for your position, then you're not in the conversation.
    I think I told you that your beef with the crime rate thing comes from the fact that the Yale guy *can't* know how many crimes illegals commit. Even though he says he does. He doesn't. I know he's lying because he is saying something that is impossible for him to know. It is literally illegal to collect the data he would need to make that claim. I don't know what else to tell you man. The guy is straight up lying. Or, more likely, he just presumed something erroneous and then confirmation biased himself into believing the data says something it doesn't. Does that ever happen to Ivy League Academics? Hint: Fuck yes it does.

    If you want to believe that he somehow knows the citizenship status of people who are arrested just because he says he does, then you go right on believing that. Climate change is real too. Good luck with life.
