Interesting data about location of undocumented - many more in RED states , but NO ice [View all]

I wonder what the Republican voters think? Didn’t they want their PedoPrez to get rid of their Brown people too?
OR , maybe No. Because their economy would tank without hard-working, low-wage Brown people.

Pew Research Institute (2023):

• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants

• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants

• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.

And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."

It's *not* about immigration.
