What's your point? Here's some immigration facts to chew on, There is a 1.53% incarceration rate for native born Americans and a .05% incarceration rate for for undocumented immigrants (other than immigration violations) 30% of undocumented immigrants are from Asia not Mexico and more are coming from China than Mexico 7.6% of immigrants are self employed as compared to 5.6% of native born Americans and have founded over 40% of Fortune 500 companies 72.5% of immigrants work and make up over 50% of the US labor workforce over the last 10 years Immigrants account for 13.3% of the population which is in line with historical norms These facts are from the George W Bush Presidential Center's website.

Several board members of Turning Point USA's chapter at the University of Iowa have resigned ahead of a planned event in favor of border security and immigration reform by the group's leader, Charlie Kirk, and communications chief Candace Owens, in response to the murder of a Hawkeye student. In a letter posted on the Iowa chapter's Twitter account Friday morning, the unnamed students blasted Turning Point USA for using the death of the student, Mollie Tibbetts, to call for immigration reform. "We find it in poor taste to exploit the death of a Hawkeye for a political agenda," the group of students wrote, before attacking Owens in particular for a Twitter exchange with a member of Tibbetts's family. "This board also extends sympathy to the member of Mollie's family that dealt with public harassment from Turning Point USA Communications Director, Candace Owens," the letter reads. "We ask that your exchange with Owens represent only herself and not conservatives as a whole." http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/403451-turning-point-usa-board-members-at-university-of-iowa-resign Omar 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctm Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 Campaign finance crimes of this kind are not trivial matters: under federal guidelines updated at the end of last year by Trump’s own justice department, a campaign finance crime committed knowingly and willfully amounting to more than $25,000 is what they call a five-year felony. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/21/trump-manafort-cohen-plea-bargain Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Earl Posted August 27, 2018 Report Share Posted August 27, 2018 John edwards was charged basically the same thing and got off free. Furthermore you have to prove intent that Trump knew and directed Cohen to violate the law (assuming a law was broke here). Good luck with that. Nothing will happen to Trump over this.

Your first 2 points have just illegal immigrants included. Do you have the stats for those 2 points for legal immigrants? For the last 3 points you combine illegal and legal immigrants. Do you have those last 3 points broken out by legal and illegal immigrants? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
