The trend has continued steadily since then, and furthermore,

Bier wrote in November that his work showed the Biden administration “has removed a higher percentage of arrested border crossers in its first two years than the Trump DHS did over its last two years. Moreover, migrants were more likely to be released after a border arrest under President Trump than under President Biden.”

This is from 2024, the DHS spokesperson at the time:

“Under this Administration, the estimated annual apprehension rate has averaged 78%, identical to the rate of the prior Administration.”

The idea Biden opened the borders is thoroughly debunked. Like I said you're the one telling me a bunch of bullshit so it's on you to disprove reality, I don't care enough to spoonfeed you the facts.

This took 30 seconds to find

Visa overstays have outnumbered people who enter the country illegally at the Southern border every year since 2007, according to a report by the Center for Migration Studies. The report's authors estimate that the number of total visa overstays was 600,000 more than the total number of border crossers and that in 2014, visa overstays accounted for two-thirds of all new undocumented immigrants.

This article has the most recent data I could find but if you look at the sources you can probably find better info. You're welcome to prove me wrong.

You mean the 'tankie triad'? I'm pretty sure I learned that on hexbear. Why don't you try posting it?

They have "capitalist elements" because it's a long transition from a capitalist economic system to a communist classless society, the difference is who is directing the means of production and to what end the state is used for. And plenty of communists complain about China all the time. According to the Hurun Global Rich List China has 823 billionaires. I don't know what point you're trying to make.

You're free to go look at the statistics easily found, I'm not gonna do your homework for you. Were you at the border?

"Improper entry" through illegally crossing a border is a crime, but the majority of undocumented immigrants in the US don't enter that way. "Unlawful presence" after a visa expires or is denied receives civil penalties rather than criminal, meaning they can't lead to imprisonment but only fines or a court action like deportation.

Yeah people agree the famine in China was bad too. Even Mao and other officials in China agreed there were mistakes and made changes afterwards. Are you aware China experienced devastating famines on average of once a century for the previous 2000 years before that? There hasn't been a famine since then.

Most estimates range from 15-30 million. A smaller proportion of the population than the Irish potato famine which was caused by British mismanagement but I don't hear that talked about as a reason why capitalism is terrible much.

I've always been anti-capitalist but in a Big Sean song he said "money is the greatest drug" and I hadn't really thought about it that simply, they really are just addicted to wealth and it warps the brain. The dynastic capitalist families have encouraged this delusion for generations, further entrenching their alternate worldview.

Actually it's a civil offense akin to a parking ticket which is separate from criminal charges.

You call yourself freedomadvocate yet you advocate for the destruction of freedom, interesting.

Do you have a source for that number other than a CIA funded think-tank?
