Correct title is "Immigrant Population in U.S. Drops for the First Time in Decades" - is there something automatically editing the titles to remove certain phrases?

  Hmm I copy pasted directly from the article header and it didn't exceed the char limit. Updated, thanks for the heads-up.

    I think it's not about the character limit. In a title like "We did X for the first time using framework Y", the phrase "for the first time" wouldn't add anything so it gets auto-edited out - but here it's needed.

“ Pew Research Center found that between January and June, the foreign-born population in the United States — both lawful and unlawful residents — declined by nearly 1.5 million. In June, the country was home to 51.9 million immigrants, down from 53.3 million six months earlier.” Is this something you can really reasonably study? The response rate for illegal immigrants must have tanked right? I know there are techniques for this but they must be disrupted by like major environmental and legal changes. I would doubt you would get it right on your first attempt.

Trumps immigration policies are actually working. Illegal immigration is down 92%. In the UK it's out of control and they are actually spending much more money then the us actively making it worse.

  If your claim is correct, it would be good to know if the life of the Americans is now better? As far as I heard not really…

    > it would be good to know if the life of the Americans is now better This has nothing to do with their claim. The cruelty is the point.

  Funny because they would usually say that this couldn’t be done. Turns out it can.

My intuition would be that they went underground. Does not say how this is being addressed.
