Arizona paper anomaly explained:

The author is John Lott, well known for fudging the numbers for the NRA, favorite talking head on Fox News in the wake of every mass shooting.

Academic transgressions include fabrication of entire surveys, presenting faulty regressions, creating false online personas to support his work, and a long history of false claims and statistics in his articles and tv appearances.

So, what speciifically is this person disputing about his study? If they can't say what they are disputing but rely on generalities then that doesn't count.

I really just posted that as an example that you can basically find a study to support just about anything you want.

The DOJ/DHS stats should tell most people what they need to cool.

The one study you found to support the belief that illegal immigrants increase the crime rate was by a guy known for fudging the numbers. The flaws in his paper have been identified. The overall academic concensus is that undocumented immigrants commit fewer crimes than the general population.

What numbers did he fudge? Since when does one Cato study equal concensus?

InfoWars says one thing, NYtimes says another. What's a guy to do?

Lott wasn't able to justify his method of identifying the immigration status of his data sampling. Also, given his record, it's likely he manipulated his data elsewhere.

I cited four studies, not just one.

A freedom of information request was just filed, requires the Whitehouse to produce the data Trump claimed to use to support the national emergency. I'll hold my breath.

If Democrats use this method it's a dictatorship, even though Trump is already doing it?

Really?

I was right.

yo rustdog, oblama performed 13 of those, so?

None fake like this, but I'm all for it. Climate change is a real emergency, and we will play that card. I hope it stands.

I don't give a shit about the military budget.

I'm going to assume that you are trying to say that 3000 people were murdered and 40000 sexual assaults were committed by illegal aliens last year and the wall will stop that.If those numbers are true then how many murders were committed by the illegals that just overstayed their visas or came by sea or thru an area that wouldn't be covered by a wall? And how many sexual assaults were committed by guys who thought it was ok to "Just grab them by the pussy" and how is a wall or this president going to stop that?

And I wonder how many of those murders could have been prevented by stricter gun control laws, like a waiting period and background check to verify that you're not selling a gun to an illegal

How many of those crimes are the result of not having the right papers?

If there is a national emergency, why is he heading to Mar-a-Lago?

Exactly. The guy is an absolute idiot.

The 3,000 killed by illegals is a bullshit lie. Pathetic.

I was right.

Looks like our troops will bite the bullet for this wall, if it happens. That's the one place they shouldn't be dipping into.

Did any of you guys actually believe trump when he said Mexico was going to pay for the wall?

Not only did they believe it they still think that Mexico is somehow paying for it. LOL
