Should we have border security?

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Yet another sensational but useless statistic from you.  Useless because in order to judge what meaning that increase has, we'd also need to know the changes in both the total California prison population, and to a lesser extent, the change in the percentage of aliens in the overall California population.

Thanks for showing once again that there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Incidentally, the SCAAP data used in the GAO report cited by the article is highly variable from year to year and state to state.  By quoting data out of context from that report, I could easily make the case that the problem is either much worse or that things are getting much better.  For example, New York saw a 31% decrease in SCAAP criminal aliens over the same period compared to California's 21% increase.  (Yes, I know the article says only 17%, but the reporter got her percentages wrong.  The 2003 figures for California are 17% lower than the 2009 figures, which is where I assume she got the 17% from, but the 2009 figures are 21% higher than the 2003 figures.)  Conversely, Maine had a 1060% increase over the same period.

In my opinion we should have an open border with Canada and military on the border with Mexico, unless of course Canadians immigrate here illegally and drug related violence spoors over from Canada.

First, welcome to the forum.

Second, thank you for your honest response to the question.

You have to understand that for lefties, anyone who disagrees with them is a "racist."

No, just the racists who disagree with us. Granted, there is considerable overlap.

(Also, LOL @ Gramps being a "lefty.")
