It's data so it can be interpreted with values that are inflated or deflated by changes in policy. Plenty of people blame Compstat for an inflated number of arrests. An outside review found plenty of complaints and shows how data was manipulated. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/...n_3587637.html
So if police do this why wouldn't schools, DHS or another agency not do this to their own benefit? You can't just link a chart and say that is enough evidence to support your argument when it can all be manipulated. Like how border patrol agents can just catch and release since they can't house everyone they come across in the field. So they don't report anyone is detained or brought into custody. It makes them look good since they don't have to report it. Yes both parties have participated in that policy. It also explains the chart that was linked also.
Trump is tryin to look good but news agencies will just spend money findin caravans to deflate any hopes he has of showin his policies have any positive impact. It will always create this narrative that he is a mean tyrant that separates families, that more people are crossing than under obama and even more negatives. He'll never be able to escape this. The only thing helpin are the tariffs but that will take time for companies to move to the free trade zones on this side of the planet. Central american countries can promote their own also but the news will never talk about any of this. If they do it won't reach the front page. They won't dare show him creatin jobs in countries south of the border to stem the tide of immigrants. Which is sound policy.
