Yep, border apprehensions are "decreasing"!! Therefore there is no border crisis!! Must be less than some other time in history.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/border-apprehensions-reach-103000-in-march/ar-BBVM0ER?li=BBnbcA1


literally, definition of crisis: an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs in which a decisive change is impending

the context of the word IMPLIES something has gotten WORSE, and historical numbers prove that the situation WAS NOT GETTING WORSE, but better, at the time Trump came in stirring things up with his fear tactics about there being a crisis.

Obviously we have a significant difference of opinion. Time may tell the real story if the situation gets worse. Neither of us has any control over the situation and what happens in the future. When the democrats start calling for more humanitarian aid at the border, we can then call it an immigration crisis.

When Trump was given the presidency one of the first things out of his mouth was to tell people not to believe what they see, read or hear.

How convenient can you get? Many have believed Trump and done just that. Now, because some want to believe so badly in Trump, He has made them deaf, dumb and blind to the real truth that comes out about him almost every day.

All the lies he tells. The blatant corruption of him and his family and cohorts is out there in the public for everyone to see. It's time for people to come out of there rabbit hole and into the light and see what's real. Pull the shades off there eyes and really look. We have a lier and a crook in the high office. A crook that actually tries to talk others in his circle into doing illegal things. If this was a Democrat being this blatant and crooked he/she would already be thrown out of office. Because of Trump, we as a country are more separate that we have ever been.



Donald Trump just said something truly terrifying

"At a speech in Kansas City to the VFW annual convention on Tuesday, President Donald Trump -- amid one of his trademark anti-media rants -- said this (emphasis mine):
"Stick with us. Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening".

http://www.cnn.com/2018/07/25/politics/donald-trump-vfw-unreality/index.html

Now, with just a little research and common sense, we know he's lying about this border thing. How come video has never popped up? You would think that if the border was really getting overrun, the Republicans would ride that high. There would be a video. But there isn't. Just the occasional still photo that shows really nothing going on. Quiet and mostly desolate. America is being lied too. And some are swallowing the lies hook, line and sinker. Some would rather believe far out conspiracy theories than believe the truth that's right under their nose. And nobody ever asks what happened to that caravan that was headed to the border during the midterms. After the midterms, that story and the caravan went away. Because it was also a Trump lie.


Are border crossings at “historically low levels,” as Rep. David Price says?


"President Donald Trump’s declaration of a national emergency over the U.S. border with Mexico has sent congressional Democrats scrambling to poke holes in his case for building a wall.

"Not only is there no national emergency at the border: crossings remain at historically low levels," said Rep. David Price, D-N.C., in a Feb. 14 tweet".

http://www.politifact.com/north-carolina/statements/2019/feb/22/david-price/are-border-crossings-historically-low-levels-rep-d/

9 facts you should know about the border before Trump addresses the nation

"►Illegal border crossings are down. Significantly.

In 2000, 1.6 million people were apprehended trying to cross the southern border into the United States. In 2001, 1.3 million were apprehended. In 2018? Less than 400,000. That’s not just a decline. It’s a significant decline.

A lot of the decline was because of the recession, which dried up jobs migrants were seeking to fill. But if we’re being fair, apprehension numbers reached a low of about 310,000 in 2017 in part because of increased border enforcement and fear of Trump and his anti-immigrant policies".

The truth of it at this point. It ain't over for Trump. It's just getting started.

Why Trump isn’t being charged with obstruction — even though Mueller didn’t exonerate him


"Special counsel Robert Mueller did not find that President Donald Trump was guilty of obstruction of justice. It didn’t find him innocent, either".

"Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein have concluded that “the evidence is not sufficient” to charge Trump with obstruction of justice. But as a letter written by Barr to the House Judiciary Committee Sunday (summarizing the still-confidential Mueller report submitted to Barr and the Department of Justice on Friday) makes clear, that was Barr and Rosenstein’s decision — not Mueller’s".

Trump Engaged in Suspect Tax Schemes as He Reaped Riches From His Father

"The president has long sold himself as a self-made billionaire, but a Times investigation found that he received at least $413 million in today’s dollars from his father’s real estate empire, much of it through tax dodges in the 1990s".

And suspect ..that's like might and maybe just like the word purge..they introduce the unfounded mights and maybes on every fake news station over and over plant it in your head the way they have been brain washing all of us and the next thing ya know..it doesn't matter if it's proven or not..it just sounds bad..so there you go..more mass media manipulation..not to mention firing two people or having them resign..does not in any way constitute a purge..but every news media site has said the same thing "PURGE"..even when its not

I am not sure what is so hard to understand. We cant determine whats happening ACROSS an industry or a geography, by asking a few random individuals their perspectives based only in their INDIVIDUAL experience in one SPECIFIC location within that industry or geography. I can work at the a casino in Vegas and say I have noticed more smokers, but that is only MY perception in ONE casino, and is not the same as the CASINO wide trends overall, and not as accurate as recording CASINO wide numbers from ALL the casinos.

I live in AMerica and it SEEMS by my perception that there is more violence. However, if I look at DATA, I will come to find out my perceptions is NOT the mathematical reality. This happens as a result of relying on individual experiences to define broad mathematical reality.


'stark increase' is not data.

The data from customs and borders gives the following DATA

for 2018, a total of 396,579 apprehensions
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration/fy-2018

for 2017, a total of 303.916

https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/sw-border-migration-fy2017


Im not sure what, if any DATA , this commissioner provided, but the MATH definitely does not support a 128 percent increase.

the MATH shows there were 92,663 more apprehensions, which amounts to about a 30% increase from 2017.

I am still not sure who will be in that race. Beto definitely has the 'common' appeal and political and civil/community experience, and does not seem to fall on squarely partisan lines with his stand on the issues. I would still need to see what other candidates are in the running to determine who is the best candidate. but I would definitely choose him over Trump, unless he opens his mouth and shows just as much arrogance and ignorance.

Why Barr Won't Be Able to Keep the Mueller Report's Most Important Parts Private

"Attorney General William Barr has announced he will turn over a redacted version of the Mueller report to Congress, with an explanation of his redactions. There are four categories of possible redactions. But the largest bucket was, interestingly enough, dramatically impacted by a decision of the D.C. Circuit earlier this week".

http://time.com/5567027/barr-mueller-report-redactions-grand-jury/


In other News, America will be tRump's 7th bankruptcy....

1. Trump's big tax scam and spending increases have substantially widened the deficit (the annual gap between government income and expenses) – The FY 2019 deficit is projected at $1.091 trillion. It’s a 40% increase over FY 2018. It’s the largest deficit since FY 2012, and back then we were battling a financial crisis left over from the Bush years.

2. US companies did not invest in employee’s wages since they have announced spending 1 trillion dollars in Share Buybacks so far. (US companies did the same thing when Bush gave them a massive tax break and “holiday” tax break.)

3. The economy has grown by around 2.2 percent per year since the end of the recession in 2009, reaching 4.2 percent in the second quarter of 2018, immediately after the tax cuts came into effect. The third quarter at 3.5 percent, but by the end of 2018, the economic growth dropped to 2.4 percent, to make it an annual growth rate of 2.9 percent. It never reached tRump’s promise of 3 percent or more annually. The first quarter for 2019 looks dismal also at 1.5 percent.

4. Trump bragged as major stock indices hit a record high earlier in 2018, insisting that the market "shatter one record after another." In the final months of 2018 (Oct-Dec), however, it went downhill real quick. It was the worst year for stocks since 2008 – the year when the country sank into the Great Recession. My investment portfolio lost 73,000 in 2018, I believe it will be the same in 2019 because of tRump’s trade wars and threats to shut down our southern border.

5. Trump’s trade wars are so bad that his administration has launched a $ 12 billion Aid package for US farmers dealing with retaliatory tariffs.

6. In September 2018, America's trade deficit with China reached a new high: 34.1 billion dollars, That is a 13 percent increased compared to the previous year.

7. Ford is America's second-largest auto company said in August 2018 that the tRump tariffs cost the company $ 1 billion, and the company is now facing massive layoffs. GM also began dismissing 4,000 workers in Ohio, which was part of the blame for Trump's steel tariffs.
Trump's trade war “might” have helped the small US steel industry, but it hurts almost every other sector in the economy. And now taxpayers are stuck with Trump's $ 12 billion rescue operation bill,

8. Wages barely kept up with the cost of living. In the past 12 months, average hourly wages have risen just 85 cents or 3.2 percent, and this does not even take inflation into account.

9. Republicans had promised that their massive corporate tax cuts would help the average worker, but they lied, their massive tax scam benefited the wealthy and corporations only and they will be paying less than the 21 percent tax rate since they didn’t eliminate Loopholes, while the rest of America is getting the shaft from Trump and his minions, which will cause another massive financial meltdown like the last time.

10. Trump supporters could care less. They refuse to believe FACTS as they lap up Trump’s lies. America will be Trump’s 7th Bankruptcy soon.

"►Illegal border crossings are down. Significantly.

In 2000, 1.6 million people were apprehended trying to cross the southern border into the United States. In 2001, 1.3 million were apprehended. In 2018? Less than 400,000. That’s not just a decline. It’s a significant decline.

A lot of the decline was because of the recession, which dried up jobs migrants were seeking to fill. But if we’re being fair, apprehension numbers reached a low of about 310,000 in 2017 in part because of increased border enforcement and fear of Trump and his anti-immigrant policies".

I guess that <400k was only the field apprehensions. How about you find the rest of the numbers such as inadmissible and asylum seekers!!

2019 totals through March: 361,087 apprehensions. I guess they will stop for the year soon or the numbers will significantly increase by the end of the year. Keep trying to sell your story!
