Concerning the Breitbart article, once again figures lie, and liars figure. There are a lot of numbers thrown in the article, tying them together is a real problem.
Let's go to the DHS numbers, 75% of immigrants nationwide are coming from four countries, Iraq, Burma, Somalia, and Bhutan, 15% from Iran, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Dominican Republic, and 8.3% from Europe. That leaves 1.3% from Central and South America.
It also stated that 14 million green cards over 10 years is too much, and should be slashed. That is 1.4 million per year. 1.3% of 1.4 million is 18,200 per year green cards issued to people from Central, and South America. Can you blame people from Central, and South America for not waiting in line to get here legally? It would probably take them fifty years to get here legally, if they are lucky enough to live that long. These numbers don't sound real. I could unintentionally be playing with numbers. The percentages I used were in the article.
Virginia was one of the reddest of red states. That is true from 1964 on. What happened that turned Virginia red, civil rights laws. The color on ones skin turned Virginia from blue to red. The color of ones skin is turning Virginia from red to blue. What goes around comes around.
The picture shown on the article is of Hispanics. The Dominican Republic is the only one of the 90% immigrants that is Hispanic. 1.3% immigrants are coming from Central, and South America. The inference is Hispanics are turning Virginia from red to blue. According to the article, Hispanic make up 8% of Virginia's population. They all don't vote. So, how the hell are they changing Virginia from red to blue? Given the numbers of Hispanics in the article, there must be many Hispanic illegals in Virginia.
The number that is not included in the article is the number of people in the US. There are 320+ million. How the is hell 1.4 million going to change the make up in the US for a good number of years to come? It won't.
If the numbers above are correct for legal immigration from Central, and South America, how do you argue against immigration reform to include increasing the number of people being allowed in this country legally. People from Iran, and Iraq are being allowed to come into this country more than Mexico. Maybe Mexico should declare war on the US, and give up in six days. Mexico could draft their rapists, and drug dealers and put them on the front line against an American invasion. Mexico obviously knows who these people are. Right Trump!
