    Nope. They can't talk to the people in jail.

    Who talked to a person in jail?

    Wait, it is an insult to use the line that you regularly use? Interesting admission. You must have a lot of Ls on here as often as you used that line!

    Read the article and get back to me. I have never posted that quote directly to someone. Good try. Swing and a miss yet again! You're on a real hot streak there.

    Oh, and imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or it's just you can't think of anything funny on your own LOL.

    I read the article, which is how I knew who they talked to. Also, I know that the El Salvadoran government hasn't made the detainees available to press or researchers.

    Lol! Sure you haven't...

    Build in haste, repent at leisure. This endeavor is not going to end well.

    Again, you either didn't read the article or are just trying to gloss over that the article is using what someone currently imprisoned at their word. Here is the quote for anyone not biased like the poster above.

    “The government calls them all ‘illegal aliens.’ But of the 90 cases where the method of crossing is known, 50 men report that they came legally to the United States, with advanced US government permission, at an official border crossing point,” Cato wrote in its report.

    It always fascinates me how willing you are to argue with people for hours or even days when you aren't willing to read entire articles. If you kept reading, you would see their sourcing. It wasn't reports from CECOT.

    I'll give you an example, since we both know that you won't keep reading. Here is one of the listed sources for the detainee.

    They were called gang members and deported. Families say their only crime was having tattoos

    The article provides similar sourcing, at an individual level, for the entire sample. It is not based on interviews with people in CECOT, who are not available for interviews.

    LOL. They asked people in prison and they said they came to the US legally. How about you go to the closest prison and do a poll of who was innocent LOL. And so now we are supposed to believe the family members? Yeah, I'm sure they are telling the truth...

    That's an interesting point. I don't care to research it, so I'll take you at your word - these people might not have much credibility.

    So it's hard to know whether to believe them more, or members of the lying Trump Administration. Actually, it's a pretty obvious choice; I'll got with these people.

    Sigh...again, no they didn't because these people are in prison in El Salvador, where they have no access to Cato or to media sources. The media sources asked families. Often, this was accompanied by information that would be public record, like the Immigration hearing to decide on asylum that had been scheduled for the example that I pulled just for you.

    So no real information, just the word of mouth from families. Thanks for admitting it.

    And things that are public record, like immigration hearings and scheduled check-ins.

    Did part of your post get cut off for me? I only got this. ^

    So what's going on, Trump is somehow rooting himself out? Sounds good.

    Day by day Operation Take Back America is reversing the Marxist agenda of the previous crooked administration.

    Not to be trusted after they threw a gay makeup artist on a plane to El Salvador Cecot.

    The issue here is that you maga lovers trust trump with your life and I can't trust him as far as I could spit him. Anything coming out of that white house is BS.

    Unless they work in the agriculture or hospitality industry. Trump said that those ones can stay.

    You saw that, right? How do you feel about that? Or are you pretending that he didn't say that scam people like you into thinking he would remove all undocumented people?
