@markinkansas cuz you'd rather hide your shame. See, now that was the wrong move. If I've come to collect from you then it's already too late to save face. This is you and this is the mark you will wear.
These eight claims come from old viral memes, political messaging, or anecdote and have been repeatedly debunked by reporters and fact-checkers.
The recurring pattern: the memes conflate lawfully present non-citizens, U.S.-born children in mixed households, and other categories; they misuse denominators (percent of what?) and rely on anecdotes rather than official data.
“More than half of all gang members are illegal aliens.” Verdict: False / Unsupported.
National gang surveys (e.g., National Youth Gang Survey / National Gang Center) show that migrant or foreign-born gang members exist and are present in many agencies’ caseloads, but there’s no credible national evidence that over half of all gang members in the U.S. are undocumented immigrants. Gang composition varies by region and gang. Broad national claims like “more than half” are unsupported.
“75% of California's Most Wanted are illegal aliens.” Verdict: False / Unverified.
This is another meme number that fact-checkers traced back to unverifiable or anecdotal claims. LAPD and local authorities do not publish evidence supporting that 75% figure; reporters and fact-checkers found no reliable data to back it up.
“More than 66% of all births in California are to illegal aliens on MediCal, paid for by the US Taxpayers.” Verdict: False.
Fact-checks show the correct number (for 2011–2013) was on the order of 12–15% of births in California covered by Medi-Cal to undocumented mothers — not 66%. (Also note: Medi-Cal is California’s Medicaid program and covers many low-income people who are citizens or lawfully present immigrants; “paid for by US taxpayers” is an oversimplification of state/federal funding and eligibility rules.)
“Nearly 39% of all California's students, grades 1-12 are illegal aliens.” Verdict: False.
A commonly cited accurate metric is students with an undocumented parent, not students who themselves are undocumented. Pew and other researchers estimated in the 2010s that about 7% of U.S. K–12 students were children of unauthorized immigrants (and California had higher rates for students with an undocumented parent — roughly ~12% in some estimates). None of the credible data support 39% of California K–12 students being undocumented themselves
“Nearly 60 percent of all occupants of HUD properties are Illegal aliens.” Verdict: False.
Fact-checks found the true share of HUD public-housing occupants who are undocumented is very small (well under 1%) in national estimates — nowhere near 60%.
“Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking crops but 41% are on welfare.” Verdict: Partly false / misleading.
The “<2% picking crops” line (about share of all undocumented people who are crop pickers) is closer to plausible depending on how you measure agricultural workers vs population, but the “41% on welfare” is misleading: many cited statistics count U.S.-born children in mixed-status households who receive benefits (not undocumented adults directly receiving cash welfare).
Direct receipt of cash welfare by undocumented immigrants is extremely limited by law. Fact-checkers rate this claim mostly false. For agricultural workforce composition see USDA/ERS data on farmworkers; for welfare/SNAP context see DHS/USDA/fact checks.
“95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.” Verdict: False.
This figure traces to an unverified 2004 claim and has no official backing. LAPD/Fugitive Warrant Section told reporters those statistics do not exist as stated. Major fact-checkers flag this as false.
“More than 43% of all food stamps are given to illegal aliens.” Verdict: False / Misleading.
Undocumented immigrants are generally ineligible for SNAP (food stamps). Non-citizens who are lawfully present (refugees, green-card holders, certain parolees, etc.) can qualify and appear in non-citizen counts. Recent USDA reports show roughly 1.4–1.8 million noncitizens on SNAP (most are lawfully present), out of ~40+ million participants — far less than 43% of benefits1. More than 43% of all food stamps are given to illegal aliens.
@SatanBurger So you admit that that some of these could be true, since they are unverifiable. And the ones that you tried hard to discredit, are still TOO HIGH! Every one that come into this country needs to be verified and documented.
I will be the first one to agree that we need good hardworking people in this country, and I would like to see those people as citizens. But Democrats seem to want them on the dole, sucking at the teat of Government, and voting for more.
I agree 100% .My question is why are they only going after illegals from S. America ,why is ice not in places like Dearborn Michigan going after the radical extremists taking over our cities.
@kodiac Uh, the president IS going after those militant ragheads in Minnesota https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-terminates-deportation-protections-somali-nationals-living-minnesota-effective-immediately President Donald Trump Friday evening said he was ending deportation protections for Somalis in Minnesota "effective immediately."
"Minnesota, under Governor [Tim] Walz, is a hub of fraudulent money laundering activity," Trump posted on Truth Social.
He continued, "I am, as President of the United States, hereby terminating, effective immediately, the Temporary Protected Status (TPS Program) for Somalis in Minnesota."
1. According to the dept of agriculture, 4.3 percent of snap benefits go to alien households. 2. Crime statistics from LA don't include national origin. 3. The government didn't know how many aliens there were, but undocumented workers picked forty percent of US food crops. 4.You can't find stats on national origin for residents of any housing directly. 5. California is an enemy of the USA. Enough said! All lies must be true. 6. Children are non workers you don't need. Period. Americans don't have room, nobody needs kids! 7.nobody needs or wants anyone in your capitalist paradise . 8. Only violence that destroys everyone can bring you victory! USA must win! Do y'all selves! Get busy!
@MaBalzEsHari Does this mean that you are pro-open border? Make sure that you get on the list to take care of a few. Or don't you want to do that? Can you at least give them a good percentage of your Pay Check?
Oh wait! You don't have a job do you? So you CAN'T help.
@DogMan I haven't worked since 2005 because I can buy and sell you about 29 times over. lol lol. And yes I'm absolutely in favor of not running out those that keep our farmers in business.... our produce shelves full.... who build the homes were short of and do all the rest of the jobs your kids and grandkids think they're too good to do.
No one is for open borders, that's because open borders isn't real. It's a made up term by the extreme right. It literally only exists in you minds. Now the Law on the other hand is clear, "everyone" has the God given righg to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is absolutely nothing in the US Constitution that states these rights are exclusive to US Citizens born or Naturalized. The Law document that is The Constitution of the United States, goes on to state that "no ones" shall be denied thrir rights without due process. We were all sold on a lie thst ghe Constitution only applied to US Citizens, when in fact in applies to all who stand on US soil.
Gee! If we just let Tom Homan do his job and deport these animals, imagine the savings in welfare spending. Might be enough to balance the budget.
Imagine a country suddenly given a reprieve from all that illegal alien produced CRIME. Imagine the safe streets.
Imagine the smaller classroom sizes in schools all across the fruited plain, if those animals were sent back to where they came from and none were allowed to cross our borders illegally.
So WHY would a left wing goose stepper want to waste BILLIONS in spending on those animals? WHY would a left wing goose stepper want that much violent CRIME in this country?
And we could STILL let in the legitimate IMMIGRANTS and absorb them into our culture. This is our choice.
