HSFBfan Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 65% of Americans according to the Harris poll agree with Trump on his immigration policies on DACA. The poll also shows 84-percent of voters believe there should be a priority on a person’s ability to contribute to America when being considered for citizenship. The Harris poll also indicates a vast majority of voters want an end to the visa lottery system with 70-percent of participants opposing a random lottery. http://www.oann.com/majority-of-americans-in-favor-of-pres-trumps-immigration-policies-according-to-harris-poll/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, I grant you certain things may be self evident, for example, an elite athlete or scientist, a billionaire who plans on investing in American jobs, etc. But how do you make the determination for the more mundane individual. And who/which body will be responsible for making it? And, probably equally importantly, given the current state of things in the USA, what makes you think the truly elite will be interested in coming here? (that is a serious question by the way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn that's stupid to think that 980 is speaking for that 320 million. It may be enough. It depends on how the sample was taken and also on the nature of the population being sampled. A very small sample from a large population can, in fact, be very effective in estimating attributes of the population. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason you are a failure in life is not due to illegals. You are a failure because you failed in life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not true. If you search "undocumented crime rate" you will see that the literature from studies doesn't support your conclusion. The undocumented crime rate is lower than the overall crime rate. One study by the Crime Prevention Research Center seems to support your claim. It is a known right-wing organization whose founder is supported by the NRA. Even the right-wing CATO Institute disputes the Crime Prevention Research Center's conclusion. https://www.cato.org/blog/fatal-flaw-john-r-lott-jrs-study-illegal-immigrant-crime-arizona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarterBlue Posted February 27, 2018 Report Share Posted February 27, 2018 1 hour ago, Sportsnut said: No way 980 can give you a statistical blueprint of 320 million. Taken by a right wing organization. Don't you think they would conduct the survey in an area that the results will fit their agenda? Again, depending on the population being sample and the way in which the sample was conducted, it could be a sufficiently large sample size. Now if there is reason to believe that the organization conducting the sample was shopping for a particular result, that is a totally different issue.

I am not sure how this response relates to the post of mine you quoted. Perhaps you should be so kind to enlighten this "slow" individual.

The fact it is, is neither validates nor negates the sample size. It depends on the sampling methodology and on the true characteristics of the population being sampled.

The fact is that crime should be lower for one simple reason: Any crime committed by an illegal in this country should never have happened in the first place. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
