In light of Trump's wildly incorrect press conference this afternoon, I thought it would be helpful for everyone to have the facts on immigration. So:

Illegal immigration isn't some rampant beast, running out of control. It's decreasing, and has been for a while now.

They're not stealing your jobs

They commit fewer crimes than native-born Americans

All the political harm the Republican Party did to itself in the last week? All of the human rights abuses, the harmed children? That was unnecessary.

There is no immigration problem, except for what con men sell to the gullible to stoke their fears.

You are far more likely to be killed by an illegal immigrant than in a school shooting. By this logic, school shootings aren't a problem. Glad to see you embracing your 2nd Amendment rights, bama.

Also far more likely than being killed by police or by Nazis

"They're not stealing your jobs" part is bullshite. Have you looked at a construction crew in the past 15 years? Those used to be decent jobs held by American citizens

You are exceedingly more likely to be killed by a native-born American, in a school or otherwise, than by any illegal immigrant.

How do legal immigrants compare to illegals? Why are you so racist?

And you didn't address my point. You are FAR more likely to be killed by an illegal than a school shooting.

Glad to see you agree with us on the gun issue.

None of those statistics has changed appreciably in the past few months.

Not a single one.

It's a problem, just not a very big one

Unfortunately, it's either an existential threat for most of the board, or for your side, any effort to enforce the law is equivalent to enactment of the Nuremberg Laws

Lower than native-born, higher than illegal.

You should go ahead and link NPR and SPLC. You might even find something good on Sputnik.

What’s funny is the thread right below this that says 3000 killed on 9/11. 63,000 killed since then by illegal immigrants.

Then add up all the tax payer money it costs to capture house prosecute jail or deport them.

Yeah it’s not a problem.

Build the damned wall and end it all.

He comes with sources to back up his claims and the best retort you have is "melt"

At some point you have to ask yourself if you're the crazy one
