Who knows what to believe. Except that illegal is illegal.
Glad you picked a neutral source. I’m kind of surprised you didn’t quote Steve King.

I don't know anything about FAIR. I picked the first one on the google list. Your "fact check" source is questionable. Using the Southern Poverty Law Center as source is a negative for me. My experience with its analyses showed it to be racist, very biased, and superficial. Cato often shows its bias as well, though not as bad as the SPLC.

And then calling Breitbart, Gatestone Institute, and Judicial Watch "far right," who all have done some excellent work, while using such a leftist and biased organization as Southern Poverty Law Center as a source is idiotic.

A "fact check" by a questionable "checker" doesn't tell me anything. Actually, and solidly refuting the numbers in my link would be the better way.

And why would I quote Steve King?
