no.

There wouldnt be a trend

data collection can be precise and innaccurate

you would benefit from a formal stats course

I'm sure you would find it interesting to learn how your magic numbers come to be

The data has a 90% confidence interval

That's low

True

and it is still made using methods that tell you *nothing* about border crossing numbers

But not enough that it dismisses the idea of it declining

in depth studies all show that migrants travel back and forth regularly, meaning the yearly border crossings are many times what the illegal resident numbers suggest

and combined with their low confidence there is really not much anyone can use these data interpretations for, except disinformation campaigns, which is exactly what everyone does

it is a shitshow!

So are the statistics about illegals exaggerated?

But its measured the same way every year

yeah. poorly.

Its based on some accuracy

yeah. low accuracy.

I have explained why the data and its interpretations are worthless now

The numbers might be a bit off, but the declining trend is true

please refer to the above

and also enroll in a stats course

Doesn't that discredit the urgency of wall considering that people entering the country could have been in the states previously

But we can agree it has not rapidly increased, right?

please stop, I can only wrangle one libtard at a time

your combined autism will make me go insane

Autism is a gift, it grants me power beyond your understanding

I'm going to go now anon, I can tell that you either don't read or don't understand a lot of this

good luck

That's a nice way to end a discussion. lol

The numbers of illegal border crossing per month has also declined

Explain this?

How is this fake news then?

I think this issue boils down to an ethical discussion rather than disagreeing on statistics.

@Deleted User is openly racist so will most definitely be opposed to any immigration from anywhere but white euro counties. @Anon365 arguing about statistics is irrelevant as he would be in support of anti-immigration policy ether way. So a discussion on ethics and 'race' seem more appropriate

But he’s gone

For next time

This downward trend also showed up in other estimates too. If the numbers were made up, why do they all show the fall in the number of illegals in america?

Assuming that the migrants dont go back and forth at the same time, the margin of error wont be large enough to show a false trend

good god
