Alpo Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I'm assuming that "encounters" is cops running into illegals. But that's just a guess. You're right, it needs to be explained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 It’s a classic, put apples and oranges in the same chart and you’ve created a statistical lie that people will believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 I believe "encounters" are all ILLEGALS crossing over the border, of course that's not counting the "getaways", who knows what that number is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples being births and oranges meaning illegals, yea that sounds about right. They are as different as apples and oranges for sure! It doesn't change the fact that the numbers are there whatever you want to call them. Statistics are a funny thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Read " The end of the world is just the beginning" it delves into population collapse and demographic shift issues certain people subscribe to. Glean what you will from it. On the surface, it makes sense. There is some liberal dribble about climate change, but more or less about regional disasters (droughts, famine, war, etc) blamed on climate change or war (funny, but it's seldom seems to be about mismanagement of relief aid, or mismanagement of resources, or failure to except sustainable and more efficient agriculture and manufacturing practices). Part of this supposed "migration" is intentional due to these perspectives. European countries are apparently doing it because of their aging population and ridiculously low native birth rates don't provide enough for caregivers, and labor. Japan especially. I figure Biden is striking while the iron is hot and the American people don't realize the real cost of this, so the government can bloat itself even more and welcome in a new voter base. Funny thing, illegals I talk to go on about how ridiculously expensive it is here, that they and their family have to work all the time to make it. With the public assistance, education, healthcare, and now VA care, they get they have no real idea what real Americans have to pay for it, so they can cry me the Rio Grande river. I guess they too will ultimately suffer from a currency that continually loses value (courtesy of multiple trillion-dollar wars and routine trillion-dollar deficits- both effectively having one in the same effect on our buying power). So, they'll have to work constantly to make ends meet, breeding will go out the window, and they'll suffer their own population collapse one day, theoretically.

Subdeacon Joe Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 A quick search found these links on the Datahazard X feed. https://www.cbp.gov/document/stats/nationwide-encounters and https://wonder.cdc.gov/natality.html As to "Datahazard" datahazard 1 LINK ~~ Diverse Data ~~ Equitable Statistics ~~ Inclusive History ~~ Victim Advocacy ~~ ~~datahazard~~ By datahazard ~~ Diverse Data ~~ Equitable Statistics ~~ Inclusive History ~~ Victim Advocacy ~~ Seems to be a right-wing Kos.

Pat Riot Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 If the info is correct why is it a problem? Because it’s “right wing”? I have an idea. Encounters are data they know or the number of people they know about. This is probably more like the reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that illegals are NOT more in numbers than US natural births because you don't trust this? Where are your statistics about this then?

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Are the illegal encounters never counted two or more times. Yeah I don’t trust the stats. There are too many ways to make up that stat and get gullible people to go nuts over them. witness, this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s only one way to count illegals and the border patrol had their hands full doing it. The “get aways” aren’t counted because it’s impossible. I believe the numbers are pretty darn close! They know how many are born for sure. Then again what do I know I’m one of those gullible people that just aren’t as smart as you are ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 How do we know the data points on the chart are even valid? Virtually anyone can create a chart with bad, or even nonexistent data and post it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Eagle Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Not sure why some think this is apples and oranges, it's population added to the US through reproduction of US indigenes personnel vs through illegal immigration. Two different data sets compared in graph form. The numbers for illegal immigration are pretty consistent with the numbers Myorkas is giving to congress in sworn testimony. Encounters are tracked by the number of new illegals added to the data base. Once an illegal has a case number and a hearing date there would be no reason to add him/her again. Numbers may be off slightly because they were allowing illegals to download an app, answer a few questions and get a case number and hearing date assigned before they entered. Some may have used the app and then changed their minds and not come. Probably a statistically insignificant number. Homeland Security and Border Patrol estimate that by the end of 2024 we will have added over 12 million illegals to the population. Get aways are, of course, only estimates but 30% of encounters seems to be pretty well accepted. Unfortunately, most of the get aways are probably criminals that we would not have allowed in anyway. There is no reason to avoid DHS or Border Patrol right now, they have been ordered by the Whitehouse to let them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, it needs to be explained. It is not possible to census all of the people illegally crossing the border, due to avoidance. So I believe the stat provided is intended to only show the number of illegals actually encountered by the Border Patrol over the months. It is mainly a trend line, but it also will represent a minimum number who actually were contacted. The actual illegal population size is therefore greater than what the orange line and metric shows.
