Border crossings by undocumented migrants:

2000: 1.3 million
2006: 1 million
2010: 400000
2017: 300000

Currently we have a net negative immigration rate...more people leave than people who cross.

the wall is a waste. It is just an Ego monument for Trump!
#NoWall
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.
Total apprehensions of undocumented immigrants by year numbers ( CBP's own numbers to justify my prior tweet) lower right corner is the yearly total.
We don't need a fuk'n wall.
(2000-2006-2010-2017)
and just for kicks. here is one a sheet total apprehensions at the border since 1925...
look at the 90's versus the last decade.
they do not want to be here anymore, trump or nit. it has been a trend
PERIOD!
Just a side note here:
They keep mentioning wall building costs and maintenance.
NO ONE is mentioning the BILLIONS that will be passed to states to build ROADS to get both materials and workers to Wall sites.
There is no existing road network that can handle it.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
VISA OVERSTAYS ( people flying in and entering the country legally then overstaying their Visa limit) per DHS estimates In FY 2016 are 739,478 Double illegal crossings for the same year.
That is where the GAP is and it is a NATIONAL SECURITY issue.

72/While they abandon over $11 billion in tax refunds because they do not qualify to get them.
While they do not qualify for a lick a federal benefits contrary to what some have been fed by the racist propaganda machine
73/ IMPORTANT TWEET🚨
How much tax dollars undocumented immigrants leave to every state ( they do not file to claim it) and how much tax revenue each state could benefit from if their status is adjusted. See for yourself. They abandon that money because they never file returns
NOW FLORIDA, where a lot of racists breed, derived the most revenue from taxes paid by undocumented immigrants. PS: Hi @marcorubio, how are those massage sessions on Wisconsin ave? you should leave a review.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/research/addin…

The mother of all immigration threads with Verifiable facts covering:
1/ 🚨There is no border crossing crisis🚨
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
2/There were 10.7 million unauthorized immigrants living in the U.S. in 2016, down from a peak of 12.2 million in 2007.
42% of these immigrants who have been in the country for over 5 years live in household with US CITIZEN CHILDREN.

The Stupident & @PressSec keep repeating that we stop 50 terrorists a week crossing the border ilegally. It is horse 🐴 💩.

state department declines, on average, 50 visa applications a week because of terror watch list, no fly list.. that is it, most planning to ✈️ in.
Now, if you needvfacts, about 50 people an hour cross into the United States with valid visa and overstay after their visas expires, making them out of status and “undocumented immigrants”

They come in using these:

Dear #MAGA #Desis & other assorted non-white ppl who support Republicans because of anti-blackness or lower taxes or the feeling of proximity to power, observe this pattern of escalating & widening targeting in #immigration policy & #deportation:
1. Criminal illegal aliens "bad hombres"
2. All undocumented immigrants
3. End TPS "Temporary Protected Status"
4. End family preference in green cards "chain migration"
5. Reduce/eliminate residency lottery
6. Review citizenship applications for fraud & revoke citizenship &
deport ppl who've been here for decades
7. End birthright citizenship for children of undocumented migrants
8. Muslim ban
9. Revoke residency visa for people who have used certain public welfare benefits

I've probably forgotten some other measures, and no doubt there are more

"Horde."
"Invasion."
"Storming the border."
"Mid Eastern terrorists."
"Army."

This is white nationalist framing. No surprise it's coming from the President - we're used to it. But learn to recognize it, call it out, and most importantly: replace it. #MigrantCaravan
A few months ago I got to meet Kelvin Pierce. He's the son of William Pierce, founder of the white supremacist group the National Alliance, and author of The Turner Diaries. (It's a racist novel called a "bible of the racist right" cited as inspiration by Timothy McVeigh).
His story of growing up in a household of one of the white nationalist movement's founders was jarring: enduring years of abuse, neglect, hatred...all of which he had to find the tools to overcome.

I asked him, how do you know white nationalism when you see it?

Going to do a little live tweeting of today's #HSGAC hearing on the Flores Settlement which the administration and @RonJohnsonWI are looking to overturn so they can get the asylum system and hold children indefinitely in detention
@RonJohnsonWI @immcouncil and @AILANational have a statement for today's hearing which you can see here americanimmigrationcouncil.org/content/statem…
Currently @RonJohnsonWI is doing all he can to say why he thinks the Flores settlement is bad and how he thinks it incentivizes #immigration. He is doing a great job showing he doesnt know what he is talking about. Migrants do not know about the TVPRA or Flores...

As a fmr immigration attorney let me be unambiguously clear. Crossing a boarder to claim asylum is *not* a crime; no under US or international law. Any child separated from a parent under that pretext is done so in direct contravention to the laws of the USA. ⚖ THREAD Pls RT.
If you came to the US without permission to apply for asylum, youmetjod of entry, whether legal or illegal *should* in no way effect your application process. Illegal entry is not a ground of inadmissibility for asylum applicants.
Unlike many other categories of applicants for immigration benefits, ppl seeking asylum in the US are not barred by having made an illegal entry; for example, sneaked across the U.S. border or overstaying a valid visa (one of the top ways people are in the country illegall).
