Fiction.

Well thought out rebuttal.

Very clear and shows how much thought you can actually muster up.

Well done. Better then usual for you.

At least I didn't call him childish names, which is your modus operandi here.

I don't have the stats - as you didn't provide them

Department of Homeland Security

and I'm too lazy to look - but I would be percentage wise NY isn't even close.

DohS didn't list the bottom 40 states individually, lol didn't make the top ten. but lets look at what we do have. (im grabbing state populations of wikipedia)

California - 2,830,000 / 36.75m = 7.7%

Texas - 1,640,000 / 24.33 m = 6.74%

Florida - 980,00 / 18.33m = 5.35%

Illinois - 550,000 / 12.9m = 4.26%

New York - 540,000 / 19.49m = 2.77%

Arizona - 500,000 / 6.50m = 7.69%

Georgia - 490,000 / 9.67m = 5.07%

New Jersey - 430,000 / 8.68m = 4.95 %

North Carolina - 370,000 / 9.22m = 4.01%

Washington - 280,000 / 6.55m = 4.27%

Other 40 States - 2,950,000

New Mexico didn't have it's illegal population listed, at 2million people in the state its fair to assume they are in the same 5-7% range but that's just an educated guess. My point is, Illegal immigration is NOT just a problem for border states and the idea that because he was from Texas he know's everything in the world about it and we dumb northern folk are entitled to have opinions on the subject is ludicrous. This isn't the first time NZT made ignorant statements about this topic and quite frankly, I'm sick of his superiority complex on the subject.

IMO if you don't live in a border state ( I don't mean Canada) you should STFU about illegal immigration.
