Engorgeous George 1,774 Posted October 4 15 hours ago, The Real timschochet said: My point wasn’t that those programs aren’t available, it’s that most undocumented immigrants don’t take advantage of them because they’re naturally fearful of contact with the authorities. That natural fear is no more evident than at the border itself where they run across the border to the nearest border guard and then stand in line next to him docilely while being given food, water, and a ride on a bus. Sure, they are fearful of authorities. The next authority they meet gives them a plane ride or a bus ride along with a cell phone and an EBT card loaded with cash and sends them to free housing in a hotel with free food. Sure they are fearful of that authority as well. On their way to their free housing, food, and money they are told by yet another fearsome authority figure that they must appear for a hearing years down the road. What does that fearsome authority figure do to assure this will happen? Nothing, he takes their word, in their native language, that they will appear. Yep they certainly are fearful of authority, and for good reason too.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They arrive here legally by airplane, as tourists or students, and then simply fail to leave when their visas expire. Second, most undocumented immigrants who sneak across our southern border don’t encounter border guards. Most of the people you’re referring to are refugees which is a whole other category, not really undocumented immigrants at all, despite the constant attempt by some to conflate the two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An interesting assertion. This would mean that the "gotaways outnumber the encountered. That would raise the number of total illegals substantially over most current estimates which erstimate the gottaways around 50% of the numbers of thsoe encountered.

Well not exactly because as I pointed out refugees are not undocumented immigrants but they do arrive at the border and so are included in border encounter statistics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 4,021 Posted October 4 1 hour ago, The Real timschochet said: The good news: 4 new national polls have Kamala in front by 1-2 points. The bad news- latest Quinnipac poll in Georgia has Trump pulling away by 6 points, outside the margin of error. All other polls from that state are tied or show a 1 point lead for either candidate. Nonetheless this Quinnipac poll is distressing because it shows a trend in the wrong direction- one of the first such polls to do so. But I remain an optimist. Outside the margin of error is a big deal. Basically none of these polls have been, nationally or for the swing states Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tubby_mcgee 699 Posted October 4 I think all polls are biased. I think polls are probably accurate within plus or minus 12%. I think its absolutely insane that it matters to some folks if this association or that association or the teamsters or national police academy, etc "endorses" a candidate. What does that mean? So and so endorses a candidate then folks will vote for that candidate? Wait what? Folks vote based on someone else thinking FOR them? That's wild.

Most of the people you’re referring to are refugees which is a whole other category, not really undocumented immigrants at all, despite the constant attempt by some to conflate the two. The difference between illegal immigrants and refugees these days is that refugees learned that they should say "asylum" to a border guard. To think that there are this many refugees is laughable; you should be able to count them on your fingers and toes. 24 minutes ago, tubby_mcgee said: I think all polls are biased.

kilroy69 1,159 Posted October 4 I listen to NPR. It is a bad habit I picked up as a young man I can not seem to kick now. They go out of their way to make people believe that Trump is going to lose Michigan. They say things like it is almost neck and neck or harris is gaining ground on trump in Michigan but they conveniently leave out the polling numbers or anything that would back them up. That being said I have driven around the state recently in different directions for some things and I did a count. On a recent 2 hour drive in the state I counted 87 trump signs and 15 harris signs. So few it started to become a game of find the harris sign. The media is lying about her chances. At least in Michigan they are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
