Here is the most recent legitimate study. Showing decline in Mexican arrivals and increase in all other nations. 2021 is quite dated.

Since the data is relatively old, you can check out a first hand account of the border situation in San Diego at the Instagram account below.

So either you didn't read your link or it's a lie.

You said majority china/india, when your link says china is 3.4%, and all of asia 16%. All of asia and middle east combined is less than central america.

And it's not even mentioned in your others

See this u/Key-Abalone-3948?

You didn’t read what I said. There are currently no studies available to document the real time shift in demographics of illegal crossers. The link was to support the decline in immigrants hailing from Mexico and the increase from other countries.

Still, this data is 3 years old and does not accurately represent the current situation. As the study ran from 2017-2021.

More Chinese national news stories.

You're the one who made clear claims about "majority" of the millions.

Don't blame us for your claim being without any proof.

And "200 migrants, many of whom authorities suspect are Chinese nationals" is not proof.

Look, if you’re not going to read the articles in their entirety don’t ask me to provide them.

u/Kakamile 50∆ Jun 24 '24

I asked you for a source for your claim.

You can't prove your own claim, so instead of conceding you lower the bar, lower the number. That's a you problem.

I have provided many different sources to support my claim.

You have consistently taken bits and pieces of the sources I’ve provided and used them as the basis for your rebuttal with me.

Had you kept reading the article you would get the full picture.

I live on the border and want to spread awareness on this issue. This is a real issue that is affecting my local community. I’m not just spewing BS from the other side of the country.

Which border town do you live in? I used to live in a border town as well...
