Dear adventured: I believe I asked the parent a pair of clarifying questions. I'm not sure why you view mentioning that there are those who also decide to leave the parent's (possible) target destination as "attacking the US," but okay(?) Re: and 'my' "empty claim" and your statistical screed-- 1) I noticed you excised my source 'references', which is fine, I guess; 2; your list doesn't actually address the crux of the claim; 3) I think it helpful to think about how the stats are derived and what they actually measure; 4) here's a recent article from "the failing New York Times" on some of those stats you provided [1]; 5) and another on the "recovery"[2], most of the commenters don't appear to share your sanguineness, but they're probably Russian bots or something; 6) I remind you that the stock market is neither the economy nor directly relevant to much of the US population; 7) you're probably right about GDP growth [FTR, I was one of few who argued, to seasoned economists, that Trump's targets were easily doable when they steadfastly argued otherwise], but I refer you back to article [1]; 8) having already addressed your "renunciation" data in an unrelated HN post, I won't do it again; finally, 9) your econ stats are, pretty much, about the aggregate, which in my initial post, I acknowledged "look good"; 10) even if everything that you've stated is absolutely correct, it doesn't explain, for me, why the OP wants to take such a drastic step, which was what my post was actually about*.
