Enough to show that illegal immigrants pose a more significant threat to Americans than native born Americans do. Instead of less which the best evidence shows to be the case. Was the fraud due to illegal immigrants? Were they behind it? Are you you now against legal immigration as well?

And not just pardoned but called heroes?

I am saying the cherry picking or selection bias, in this case the fallacy of suppressed evidence, is no way to judge what threat illegal immigrants pose to Americans.

It was in response to Hanaguma's claim that arrests of non-targeted individuals incidental. That it only happened when ICE agents were searching for dangerous criminals. And now Kristi Noem is telling Americans that they should carry proof of citizenship with them.

Hundreds of thousand of criminals? I guess if you include those who crossed the border illegally. Probably millions. But if you mean violent criminals or criminals with a repeat pattern of felonious criminality, what's your source for that? How exactly do these workers destabilize the economy by sending money out of the country? How does that differ from legal immigrants sending money out of the country. For 2022 the World Bank did a study that showed 81 billion in total remittances was sent out of America. That includes both legal and illegal immigrants. Also, do American tourists traveling abroad also destabilize the economy? It's estimated that they spent about 215 to 250 billion outside the country in 2024. What's more it's estimated that there are 5 to 9 million American expats which I expect includes a very sizeable percentage of aseannow members? Are they destabilizing America, too? And illegal immigrants do contribute to taxes including to Social Security and Medicare. In effect, they are subsidizing those programs.

Really. There's a history of pardoning people who attacked police officers? A history of people trying to stop the constitutional transfer of power? Interesting.

Kristi Noem Says People Should Be Prepared to Prove US Citizenship https://www.newsweek.com/kristi-noem-ice-us-citizenship-minnesota-shooting-identity-11366671

Has the ICJ even entered Israel to serve a warrant against Netanyahu? Much less abducted him?

You've got nothing.

Now I get it. Hoist by my own joke.

For some reason you didn't include this explanation from AI "In short: The statement is a "fact-check" or clarification. It’s saying that this 600k figure isn't a report of a recent "surge" of criminals crossing the border CBPP data); rather, it's a snapshot of every non-detained person with a criminal record that ICE has on its books from the last several decades combined." The following was also noted: Incarceration status: Many of the people on this list are currently in state or federal prisons serving time for their crimes. They are on the "ICE list" because once they finish their prison sentence, ICE is scheduled to take custody of them for deportation.

I critiqued the words he posted. I noted that they were bereft of evidence or reasoning. Nothing about him personally. Except maybe here in this post by using "him" instead of "them". Maybe Yagoda would object to that?

I see you offer no evidence or reason to reply to the fact that Trump has slashed funding to scientific research so all you can do is offer tired cliches instead. You've got nothing.

Sure. It's "Lefty woke islam loving" parties who deny human caused climate change is a reality and spread lies about vaccinations.

How is what I'm doing cherry picking? How is citing the rankings of universities worldwide cherry picking? I don't think you understand what cherry picking means when it comes to statistics. Actually, had you read the article and understood it, you would have read that the relative decline had begun before Trump. But it's clear that he's accelerating it. Unless you believe that slashing funding for research is actually a way to support research. As I pointed out, not even Republicans in the House and Senate agree with that.

Clearly the fact that you persist in cherry picking shows that you have no appreciation of the fallacy of producing this kind of stuff as evidence. It's a very basic error.

In fact, as the article it seems you either didn't read or didn't understand notes, it's not that Harvard isn't producing more research than ever before, it's that the Chinese are accelerating faster. Trump's massive cuts to research should help America decline that much more quickly. Even Republican legislators are rebelling against this: Senate Appropriators Release Funding Bill That Rejects Trump Cuts to NSF, NOAA and NASA https://www.nsta.org/blog/senate-appropriators-release-funding-bill-rejects-trump-cuts-nsf-noaa-and-nasa House, Senate lawmakers ignore requested Trump cuts at key science agencies https://fedscoop.com/house-senate-lawmakers-ignore-requested-trump-cuts-science-agencies/

Another instance of mathematical illiteracy.

The United States is intensifying pressure on Mexico to allow U.S. military forces to conduct joint operations to dismantle fentanyl labs inside the country, according to American officials. The push comes as President Trump presses on the Mexican government to grant the United States a larger role in the battle against drug cartels that produce fentanyl and smuggle it into the United States. The proposal was first raised early last year and then largely dropped, officials said. But the request was renewed after U.S. forces captured President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela on Jan. 3 and has involved the highest levels of government, including the White House, according to multiple officials. https://archive.ph/kNnn7#selection-733.0-741.301 The thing about Venezuela is that the USA doesn't actually share a border with it. Not the case with Mexico. I wonder what kind blowback, no pun intended, could result from US forces operating in Mexico. The US could be quite vulnerable.

Until recently, Harvard was the most productive research university in the world, according to a global ranking that looks at academic publication. Harvard recently dropped to No. 3 on the ranking. The schools racing up the list are not Harvard’s American peers, but Chinese universities that have been steadily climbing in rankings that emphasize the volume and quality of research they produce https://archive.ph/cBBJL In fact, as the article goes on to note, 8 out of the top 10 Universities are Chinese.

Which is why ICE agents are given quotas to fill?

Serving a warrant in a jurisdiction where it has no legal validity is not law enforcement. Unless you mean law of the jungle enforcement. Otherwise, it's just an invisible fig leaf.

Sounds like you've got nothing but empty personal comments. QAnon emerges as recurring theme of criminal cases tied to US Capitol siege An abiding sense of loyalty to the fringe online conspiracy movement known as QAnon is emerging as a common thread among scores of the men and women from around the country arrested for their participation in the deadly U.S. Capitol insurrection, court records reveal. The FBI first labeled QAnon and its fluid online community of supporters as a "dangerous extremist group" in August 2019, and over the past two weeks it has featured prominently in criminal indictments filed against many of those alleged to have participated in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, including a number accused of egregious crimes. Among them is Douglas Jensen, the bearded man seen in a viral video wearing a distinctive "Q" T-shirt, menacing a lone black U.S. Capitol Police officer as he led rioters through the halls and pushed the mob deeper into the Capitol building. Jensen later told investigators that he "intentionally positioned himself" toward the front of the mob so his T-shirt would be visible to cameras and "Q" could "get the credit," according to an FBI affidavit. https://abcnews.go.com/US/qanon-emerges-recurring-theme-criminal-cases-tied-us/story?id=75347445 QAnon supporters believed marching on the Capitol could trigger 'The Storm,' an event where they hope Trump's foes will be punished in mass executions Before she was fatally shot in the chaos that engulfed the Capitol on Wednesday, Ashli Babbitt wrote a cryptic social-media post. "They can try and try and try, but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours....dark to light!" said a Twitter post written under Babbitt's name, a post counter-extremism researchers believe is genuine. "The Storm" is a resonant phrase at the heart of QAnon, the sprawling online conspiracy movement that baselessly claims that President Donald Trump is working to dismantle a network of elite child-abusers who run world affairs. https://archive.ph/ABv76 How Donald Trump Perpetuated the 'Birther' Movement for Years - Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump acknowledged for the first time today that President Obama was born in the United States -- after years of leading the "birther" movement, casting doubt on the president's birthplace and fueling a raft of conspiracy theories. Trump, in fact, refused to acknowledge that Obama was born in Hawaii even yesterday in an interview published in the Washington Post, more than five years after the president released his long-form birth certificate. The real estate mogul repeatedly called for the President to release his full birth certificate and questioned the authenticity of the documents once he did so. As a presidential candidate, he has declined to say the President was born in the United States -- until today. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/donald-trump-perpetuated-birther-movement-years/story?id=42138176

The point being that characterizing this as a law enforcement action is absurd.

A law enforcement where people on military bases nowhere near the site of the abduction were killed by American bombs.
