[–] Num10ck@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 child) i read that more immigrants come through LAX than the entire northern and southern and coastal borders every year. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SwingingTheLamp@midwest.social 1 point 2 years ago The really dumb thing about it is that they're literally migrants crossing the border, which is why the media refers to them that way. The frightening numbers that we hear about crossing the border each day into the U.S. are offset by large numbers of people crossing the border back to Mexico. The net-inmigration is much lower, and lots of times even negative. (More people leave.) The truth isn't scary enough, though. permalink fedilink source parent
