It&#039;s important to note that the number of legal immigrants to the US is about the same as the number of illegal immigrants.&nbsp; Uncontrolled illegal immigration defeats the security measures put in place for legal immigration.
Illegal immigration is competing for resources needed for legal immigration.&nbsp; That&#039;s why illegal immigration is a bigger problem than is being reported.&nbsp; As Democrats would say it, the scope of the problem is unprecedented.]]></description>

       Arrests Of People On FBI Terror Watch List Crossing Border Illegally Hits 100-Year High

 
 Ok, well the headline is a little bullshitty. The FBI hasn&rsquo;t had a terror watch list for 100 years. That agency did establish a list in 1995 -
 

   Violent Gang and Terrorist Organizations File    &ndash;The Violent Gang and Terrorist Organizations File (VGTOF) was established in October 1995 as a component of the National Crime Information Center to give all police agencies access to useful information on a growing crime problem that jeopardizes the safety of police officers and citizens in an increasing number of communities. 

 
 So, at most, the list could be 28 years old. But since multiple organizations kept different lists before 9/11, they were consolidated in 2003 by the Homeland Security Act. Since then, the list is kept and monitored by the Terrorist Screening Center, so the list referenced in this dramatic headline likely is only 20 years old.
 
 
 So . . . &ldquo;100-Year High&rdquo; sounds made-up.
 
 
 
 And then of course, there is always the question of whether increased arrests is a sign of more crime or better enforcement. That doesn&rsquo;t appear to be covered here. ]]></description>

Okay, fair enough. Do you think the record number of increased apprehensions of illegal immigrants is a sign of more illegal immigration or better enforcement?]]></description>

Do you think the record number of increased apprehensions of illegal immigrants is a sign of more illegal immigration or better enforcement?

I don&rsquo;t think we can tell from this story. The one measure, by itself, can be interpreted either way. That&rsquo;s the problem. 
On a given day, for example, one agent may be able to apprehend 10 people, with only 1 on the watchlist. The next day he apprehends 2 on the watchlist. Is that because the percentage of terrorists increased? Or is it because he apprehended 20 people? 
And we still have no idea if the flow of people increased on that day, so we can&rsquo;t assess his ability to protect the border in even a general way, nevermind a specific concern for terrorism.
One of the big problems with coverage of this issue - be it in the news media or from politicians - is that there are so many ways to measure the problem, but none of those is a complete measure. So, we get cherry picked statistics (when they aren&rsquo;t being warped) that support someone&rsquo;s political agenda.]]></description>
