    Oh, you did a head count ?
    Suspecting anything without doing the research is just a way of avoiding the truth. It’s a Trump strategy. “I suspect “ then that Trumpets have little concept of how much a million really is, or really don’t care. It’s now just trolling.

    “And none of them are needed or wanted.” Sure, just start deporting them and watch the stock market start dropping and inflation followed by a recession ensue.

    Seriously ? They are each the exactly the same crime, a “misdemeanor” and treated the same under the law whether they are working overstays or walked across the border illegally.
    Under the law, hiring illegals is a federal crime and can lead to felonies if harboring or providing false paper work which Trump is accused of doing, are involved. There are civil penalties that can lead to criminal prosecution if accompanied by these other activities. . Why aren’t you more upset about that ?

    No one did a headcount

    That number was a semi informed estimate made 10 or 15 years ago

    Did you not see the distinction that I made between illegal economic immigration and illegal criminal immigration? Note how I didn't refer to illegal economic migrants as having committed a felony. So do you acknowledge illegal FELON immigration?

    Every time they build a new tens of millions of dollars deep penetrating radiation / chemo center they're saying, "Nope, won't be any cure any time soon, we'll get a big return on this."

    I hope they're wrong but the smart money says they aren't.

    It wasn't much talked about, cages and all. And although hundreds drowned, no such photos went into the MSM news, nor dehydrated bodies scavenged by coyotes and bobcats.

    It's a vast, dry, unhospitable desert out there, and while most of the dehydrated dead will go unnoticed, occasionally some hikers or canoeists on a sightseeing side trip, or ranchers, will come upon a few or many dead bodies. Once in awhile they will call and report this. But most of them are just worried about getting to their next water.

    And is there a contrast between the Obama days and Trump regarding this?

    None at all. That's been the way of the desert for a very long time.

    You weren't saying that the MSM news covered the deaths less?

    Yes, they were covered differently. They were treated as the human tragedy they are rather than a political tool to subvert an American administration. People have been drowning in that river since before there was a United States.

    That's the way of weird science I guess. I spoke with a notable scientist who studied the behavior of wolves. He had been working on one study for the past 10 years curtesy of government grants. Very interesting conversation. I asked him if he had published any of his work. He said no, maybe in a few more years he would get around to it. I learned a little about human behavior.

    Pharma works on promises too. The difference is instead of grants, they rely on stockholders who speculate on breakthroughs and blockbuster drugs that at best may not even have a 50% chance of exceeding trial goals.

    I worked on a chain of oncology centers. About all they really did there was to administer drugs and maybe some comforting words to people they knew were going to die anyway.

    afaik didn't cover them at all. Mostly local news covered these, not national.

    It's even worse that there are so many mass graves of victims of cartel killings in Mexico with the US MSM not covering those.

    I think Trump is content with that status.

    I think we're all smart enough to know what he's saying, which is that as president he would take any steps he could to advance research and work for a cure. Each cancer type is different but we are close to finding a cure for several types, and the dedication of government would make all the difference. But we don't see Trump making any such commitment.

    So, understood this way as we know it should be understood (instead of literally), it isn't a "bold promise he can't keep".

    He may even manage to get Democrats to sit down to a little conversation and that would be worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize.
