    It's crazy to let the media brainwash you.

    But these people can't think for themselves. So they need someonen to tell them what to think every day.

    Maybe if I get a cool logo, a catchy intro tune, and some nice clothes, then they'll start doing what I say ;)

    But all this stuff about "Many migrants are self-deporting" is not somet that anybody can put a real number on.

    If they are crossing the southern border, at border crossings, they can put a number on those, and those are up. If you are assuming that some sneak out at other places, then yes they are uncounted but they would
    also make the number even higher, not lower.

    Where did you hear that the crossings (USA to Mexico) are up? I can't find any info on the internet about that. When I Google'd it, the pages in the results leaned the other way.

    I haven't met one yet who said that he/she is illegal and leaving.

    I have never discussed with anyone their legal or illegal status, have you?

    Only with people that I know. My point is that statistics lie, and one-on-one conversations are more truthful.

    There's no reason for any of them to leave, and there's no reason for an o
    them to feel threatened by "if you get deported you won't be welcomed ba I
    the media wanted them to go back, they'd say so.

    I am not sure the media has anything to do with it.

    I know I blamed Biden a lot, but the illegal migrants really came here because of the media. The media invited them here with all the "border's wide open" rhetoric.

    So if the media wanted the migrants to go back home now, then they'd be advising it similarly to the way that they advised them to come.

    That sounds way too Right-Wing Extremist to me.

    They were invited by the Elitists. Biden and the Media were only the patsies.

    So if the media wanted the migrants to go back home now, then they'd be advising it similarly to the way that they advised them to come.

    But the Elitsts aren't paying them to do that anymore. Especially since Trump/Elon shut down their money schemes.
