>>510494612I don't believe you, but for the sake of the conversation let's assume that's correct.
Actually let me come back to this point, it seems (per government sources) that this is correct.

I still don't really believe it but I'll agree for now and just set aside my cynicism.
>100 million + mexicans>zero added this may>"According to ICE data, its agents arrested roughly 30,000 immigrants last month, the most since monthly data was made publicly available in November 2020. But the number of immigrants deported in June — more than 18,000 — amounted to roughly half the number of arrests, according to internal figures obtained by NBC News.">100 million (and more) - 18k == 99 million, 988 thousand to goTo be fair to Trump and the current administration, this is definitely a step in the right direction, but this merely necessitates the following questions:
Why was it allowed to get this bad, across multiple back and forths of democrat and republican elections?
Does anyone here actually believe it won't pick back up again in a mere 3 years? Even at 18k per month deported, that will only be ~200k a year, 800k over the entire administration assuming current trends hold. Less than 1% of the amount here now.
Actually let me revise those numbers, let's play along with "the official narrative". Current (legal) mexican citizenry is roughly 65 million. Let's pretend illegals don't exist even though they obviously do.
That would be only 1.5% gone over the next four years. These numbers are rough given that he's deporting illegal mexicans and the official census track legal ones, but you understand the point I'm making.
