Unauthorized Immigrant Total Dips to Lowest Level in a Decade
The decline is due almost entirely to a sharp decrease in the number of Mexicans entering the country without authorization.
Figures from @pewresearch

42% of these immigrants who have been in the country for over 5 years live in household with US CITIZEN CHILDREN.
From 1.5M in the 90's to less than 320000 in 2017. keep in mind border patrol has more sensors and technology at the border than ever before covering more territory. Source CBP cbp.gov/sites/default/…

That is 1% GDP growth.

1- if you are undocumented you do not qualify for welfare.
2- legal immigrants need years to qualify for social benefits while they start paying into them from day one
Many people keep asking if there is an immigration detention quota.
I will answer it in this thread showing some wording wizardry ICE uses to maintain a certain number of people locked up at all times:
Thread immigration detention quotas:
A large portion of it goes to For-Profit contractors ( private Prisons)
ICE acts like that a grocery store chain, keeping the shelves stocked up at the private prisons first NO MATTER WHAT!
Asset Protection Security Servs
Doyon Government group
Ahtna Technical services
Akima global Services
Corrections Corp of America
Akal Security
The Geo group where deputy director of ICE quit and got a gig there last year in sunny FL
WE DO NOT NEED PRISONS FOR PROFITS.
Profits require supply and demand. You do the math.

HHS has placed over 150,000 minors with "Family members or sponsors" since 2010.
They used to fingerprint "sponsors" and require an FBI background check.
Not anymore.
Let me walk you thru your freedom breakfast:
They have a hard time finding Bubba-John willing to work in a very toxic environment that sounds like this:
90+ degrees inside a chicken shit infested steel box full of hundreds of thousands of chicken ( some dead) & at times freezing temp.
Solution? South border.
To stay legally in the clear, they hire "contractors" who supply them with the labor they need. These contractors have other contractors ( likely a brother or a cousin) chilling in Guatemala.
The catch: they need to pay him $10-15K once they get to their new freedom jobs. They are smuggled across the border easily using tunnels (Wall)
more coming twitter limits at 25!
I am not even going to bring up the ones who end up in the sexual abuse underground.
Almost all are collected by migrant labor. Most likely undocumented, and trafficked.
This is just eggs and chicken, I'll tackle you salad and strawberry shortcake another time.

Just before the elections. Geo Group ( largest private prison contractor) Donated $250K to Trump Super Pac. Then $250K for his inauguration

Trump using the argument of a murder by an undocumented immigrant to close the border is the same as someone using a vehicle to intentionally run over someone, so we must all burn our cars.
IDIOT
While the president Stupident is about to shut the gov down because he is not getting his stoopid wall ( it is just racism), remind your #maga friends that 50 new soon to be undocumented immigrants enter the country “legally” from your nearest international airport EVERY HOUR
You do not hear much about it in the news because the majority are Europeans and ..ahem.... Canadians.
Here are DHS numbers from October to Feb this year compared to last years... all in the negative.
This moron president should understand the basic of Supply/Demand.


That is where the GAP is and it is a NATIONAL SECURITY issue.
Hey @ICEgov here is YOUR OWN LIST of visa overstays numbers. It seems like you are working your way alphabetically by country of origins and stuck on B Brown. them Spaniard and Brits, hard to "locate" for ICE. They blend in.

Instead Trump wants an $18 billion Backdrop to use to brag on TV for his own ego. SMH

resuming immigration thread
The quickest fastest easiest Government record identifier undocumented immigrants can get from the UNITED States is a Tax Payers ID ( in lieu of a social security number) Do you know why?
Because we need to collect taxes from you regardless of your status.
I will end it at about 120. the juiciest stuff is about to come
