Actually that’s just false. There are plenty of dangerous people who cross the border illegally, just like there are dangerous people in country legally. Dangerous people and non-dangerous people sneaking through are not mutually exclusive.
There are dangerous people. Period. Whether or not a few of them exist in a group that crosses the border has little point. We already have lots of dangerous people in this country who were born in this country. It’s paranoia to single out illegal immigrants as some sort of significant threat worthy of mobilizing armed forces. As though there isn’t something better the Guard could be doing.
You just admitted that what you said was false
I did? Which part of what I said?
You said that there are dangerous people, period
Yes. There are dangerous people everywhere. That doesn’t make the people crossing the border dangerous, much less more dangerous than people who are already here.
Citation also needed for it being false.
Your original statement was that no dangerous people enter this country illegally.
No. My original statement was that Trump was sending the Guard down to prevent a “caravan” from crossing the border. I hadn’t read the article, so I assumed he was pulling a ficticious particular caravan of illegal immigrants out of his rear end. That doesn’t mean I think no one illegal crosses the border. I know they do. But the fact that they do doesn’t mean they’re dangerous or that Trump isn’t still pulling the idea out of his rear end.
I’m not talking about scare tactics to turn everyone against immigrants, I’m talking about facts.
To say “dangerous people cross the border” does not convey the same information as saying something like “50,000 people cross the border and 12 of them are dangerous”.
