This week, the Supreme Court sided with federal agents to remove razor wire put in place by Texas along the Rio Grande. The state is using wire and state agents to block Border Patrol from accessing a section of the border in Eagle Pass. Homeland Security is demanding access to the area by Friday, but Gov. Greg Abbott is doubling down. Laura Barrón-López discussed the dispute with Stephen Vladeck.

    Have you seen the numbers? Could you link them?

    The only thing I’ve been able to find is 2,2 million “encounters” in a high year, over the whole country.

    Germany takes in a million immigrants per year by itself, and has at least a handful of encounters per immigrant to process them. Also has a bunch of encounters with illegal immigrants.

    Germany is smaller than Texas.

      This is what gets me. People like the person above have a sense of grievance blown all out of proportion in comparison to the reality of the situation. Yes, I’ve seen the numbers but i don’t think the people panicking about immigration in the US have.
