chris_gerribThree facts, which should matter but apparently don't.
Fact #1 - Government is not the only force of oppression.
In Ye Goode Olde Dayes, when workers got uppity about things like getting their pay cut, wealthy individuals hired private "investigators" to shoot workers.
Fact #2 - There is no "pause" in global warming
2015 was by far the hottest year on the historical record, beating the second hottest year, 2014. Oh, and 2010 and 2005 tied as #3 hottest year, warmer than 1997.
Fact #3 - Illegal Immigration is falling significantly
Quote: The total undocumented immigrant population of 10.9 million is the lowest since 2003, says the report from the Center for Migration Studies, a New York think tank. The number of undocumented immigrants has fallen each year since 2008, the report says, driven primarily by a steady decline in illegal migrants from Mexico…
And typical illegal immigrant now is much more likely someone who is 35 or older and has lived in the United States for a decade or more.
