I always find discussion of the world biggest city a bit of a pointless exercise considering it’s entirely dependent on how administrative lines are drawn. Highly fragmented metro areas are regarded as smaller than consolidated metro areas,

The correct answer is - all the designs so far aren’t great. The military would love a smart gun to cut down on accidental discharges. Cops would love it to stop weapons being used against cops. The issue is that it has to have a very high

I mean it wasn’t illegal to send your 10 year old to work in a mine either, but that doesn’t mean we should allow it. If you don’t like immigration laws then change them. Otherwise they should be enforced.

These clearly aren’t happening on a broad scale, and exceptions don’t disprove the rule. Aliens in the US get far more due process than most countries give. That’s the measure.

The irony of an article that talks about beliefs being fed by internet content, then suggests using internet content to address it. Turtles all the way down.

Opinion polls are around 60-70% supporting enforcement of immigration laws. That’s means a quarter to a third don’t believe they should be enforced. I’d call that significant. And the US “disregard for human rights”? You mean the right to

But they aren’t going to those other developed countries, they are coming to the US. Even overseas immigrants are flying into neighboring countries and then crossing over. That tells you something.

Actually the United States stands out not from the moralism, that’s very common in other countries. What amazed me is how many Americans think immigration laws are optional. That entering and working illegally is no biggie. Every other cou

Why would political loyalty be bad? These are cabinet positions, not representatives of the voters whose actions change with changing voter sentiment. The cabinet is chosen to implement the President’s policies. It would be odd to select

It’s not illegal for me to share non-confidential data of my employer either, but if you were hiring, would you want to understand an applicants attitudes towards such leaks especially after having issues with it in the past? I would.

From Teuters: "officials quickly launched an investigation to find out who was leaking to the press" Leading is a bit different than "loyalty tests" isn't it?

I think the issue is you’re confusing social media comments with broad, overall opinions. I’d bet most Americans don’t even know they are getting rid of the penny. Or if they saw it on the news, they forgot about it a day later. It ranks

Half of your sources are other government officials. That kind of runs counter to your argument that you can't rely on government official statements to be true, no? And let's look at the Reason article. "Martinez also was

Are you suggesting a government agency is just making things up in official communications? If that’s the case you must also assume the deportee is lying as well? Between the two it’s the deportee who has the bigger incentive to make thing

Why would a country not deport non-criminal illegal aliens? Not being American and having lived in 4 different countries, I’ve never encountered this attitude except in the US. Controlling who enters and stays in your country is just table

Your first example is a mom being deported. Her US citizen children went with her. That’s incredibly disingenuous claim that “US citizens were deported”. ICE has already stated that US citizen child can remain with family in the US or go

Again, that’s 6,000 papers from a relatively quiet USCBP office where illegal immigration rates are low. If you want a national estimate that grossly undercounts, just multiply by the 20 field offices. Now we’re in the hundreds of thousand
