Here's a handy list of what's been crossing the US border from Mexico recently

[Deus Naturae]

Border arrests are down 75% since 2000. So, unless the border patrol suddenly had less resources after 9/11 (yeah right!), illegal crossings are massively down.

That doesn't really prove anything. I'm not a border control freak but that could just as easily be evidence that more people were getting through without being caught.

But brown Ebola infested revolutionary child soldiers working for ISIS get a free pass in your warped version of logical consistency

Um, what? First of all, as I implied in the post you quoted, I don't really care if people are coming illegally. I'm just pointing out that Jfern's statistic isn't necessarily evidence that fewer illegal crossings are occurring. Even if I did believe that a bunch ebola-infested terrorists were coming over (which I don't and never said and I'm guessing you just assumed out of nowhere to pretend to be offended) how would that be logically inconsistent with suggesting that Jfern's statistic isn't really proof of fewer illegal crossings.

You felt it necessary to put,down legit stats over putting down the crazy paranoid scare stories of people with real power. That's probably why no one takes you seriously

I'm not questioning the statistic. I'm saying that it doesn't necessarily imply the conclusion that Jfern is making from it. I'm not agreeing with the statements in the OP and I don't know where you're getting the idea that I do.
