Idiot friend said 600,000 "illegals" are coming in every day.

Anyone have a site with the truth?

[Hoyt]

1. 219 Million a year. I bet a lot of conmen would love your idiot friend's contact info.

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Per CNN, On May 3...

...6,000 such entries were prevented by authorities daily.
It is statistically improbable, to the point of impossibility, that 100x are getting through the net.
My guess is some RW liar took the 6,000, added a couple zeroes, then left out the part about them being apprehended.
Does your idiot friend realize that 600,000 per day means 219 million a year? That would increase the population by 65% per year.
We'd have more people than China in 4 years!
That's how stupid this claim is.

3. Not sure about the numbers but I think this would more than empty

Mexico and Central America in a short time.

Someone would surely notice those countries were empty.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Great Point!

There's around 128 million people in Mexico, and around 34 million in all of Central America. So, something over 160 million.
It would only take 9 months to empty every country between the US & South America.
That amplifies how dumb this claim is

4. Get a new friend!

[SharonClark]

6. Make your idiot friend prove his claim.

He made it, not you.

[Pinback]

8. Yes! Why is it always our job to prove that BS claims are false? (nt)

[Grins]

7. Arithmetic iz hard...

That would be 219,000,000 per year.

What’s the population of the U.S….?

I think I would have noticed…

[Skittles]

10. ugh

I seriously could not be friends with that stupid, racist asshole.

[Niagara]

11. First, I would like to say that no one is illegal on stolen land.

Those seeking asylum are entering legally.


Those who are undocumented can't receive "free stuff" and welfare and are less likely to commit crimes. Nearly 8 million U.S. jobs are dependent upon undocumented immigrant activity.



At one time, we had more undocumented Europeans in the U.S. compared to South America, but no one was complaining about the (white) Europeans being here.


Your idiot friend is repeating Right Wing talking points, which are meant to misinform the gullible. I suggest finding unbigoted friends.

[Runningdawg]

12. Ask what their deffinition of "illegal" is - I bet that's the problem.

They love to confuse illegal with immigrant.

[JackintheGreen]

13. Try a visualization

I assume your friend has watched LoTR, The Two Towers. The Battle of Helm’s Deep is supposed to be an orc army or about 10,000. So, your friend is claiming that somehow that’s happening 60 times a day?
