Its a political cartoon, Veras.  They're not considered real ones until they have at least a dozen largely pointless labels.

Kind of ironic in regards to climate change.

And why 3 million illegal immigrants per year?  Perhaps it's because navigating the labyrinth of paperwork that is the immigration process takes forever?  Maybe we should streamline this process, perhaps hire more agents to take care of people who wish to live here and make something better in this country.

Ironbite-nah....let's just close the borders and shoot all the dirty illegals.

I would like to know where the figure of 3million per year comes from? It sounds like an awful lot - being 1% of the US population  every year.

It's also 2.4% of the population of Mexico.

Something like that. The official statistic is something like 700,000 per year, but some people argue that this number is fake and so they tried to run an independent estimate which as far as I can tell relies on taking how many illegal immigrants are caught in the Mexican border and then multiplying it by the border patrol estimate of how many get away. The 3 million number in particular I think comes from this TIME article which is paywalled so I can't check how they got their numbers.

It all definitely sounds like an elaborate way of pulling numbers out of one's ass, or possibly an error in interpreting the numbers, but I can't check the numbers so I don't know.

Yeah, TIME and Newsweek both - rotting zombie shells of their former reliable selves.

Also, as to the illegal immigration number crunching; whichever way you want to compile that data, keep in mind that a large percentage are going to be the same people, year after year, trying to come through to get seasonal labor jobs in agriculture and to try their luck getting hired during the annual labor demand spike in construction trades every spring.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

About TIME & Newsweek (and educational TV channels-turned-aliens & unreality-fests). I'd imagine they were bought out by guys like Murdoch & Viacom. They're messing with them on purpose. They have an agenda. They want a nation of idiots.

Rupert Murdoch has a reverse-Midas Touch, everything he touches turns to garbage.

It's never a Republican's fault. Never.

The guy on Qando also defended Mark Foley during the 2006 page scandal, btw.

That Jewish person is white, so why would they want to poison peoples minds against white people?

Jews aren't white according to these nimrods.

And the "rotten whites" will be eliminated via the race-mixing--the goal is not to sterilize white people, but rather to have every single one marry a black, or an Asian, or a Latino, or whatever.
