I agree its a far left beurocratic source. But in some instances, cold hard facts dont have bias. Its plain as day what Noem and Trump are doing. Theyre using bullshite to create and hype fake numbers to the base.

The claims of an exodus of almost 2 million unauthorized immigrants seem to be based on a flawed analysis of the Census Bureau’s monthly Current Population Survey. The administration’s willingness to misreport statistical data erodes prevailing norms holding federal agencies accountable for transparency in explaining methodological limitations of data collection and analysis. This trend will make it still easier in the future for an administration that relies on reckless rhetoric as a favored tool for governance to substitute fiction for facts.

Only a small percentage too the money to go home. Many more on expired Visas just left without the U.S. money to avoid ICE. A fair number left when Trump left crossing the northern and southern borders.

The idea that the only ones that left are the ones that took the money is just silly.

The number is based on nothing concrete.

Neither is the number of illegal immigrants that entered the country.

Both parties benefit from inflating the illegal immigration numbers.

Democrats benefit from creating fake voters.
Republicans benefit from having a crisis to help win elections.
