Donald Trump is threatening to “shut down” the government if he doesn’t get his border wall

Donald Trump‘s diaper rash was in full effect Sunday morning as the dotard in chief is throwing a temper tantrum during his morning ‘executive time’, this time over his impractical, xenophobic border wall.

But just to show how out of touch Trump is with immigration facts, last year Pew released some data stating that people coming from south of the border no longer made up the majority of illegal immigrants in the United States.

From 2009 to 2015, the number of unauthorized immigrants from Asia and Central America rose. Increases in the number from other countries have mostly offset the decline in the number from Mexico (and a relatively small decrease in the number from South America).

Meanwhile, people overstaying their visas continues to be the biggest contributing factor to illegal immigration in the United States however that doesn’t fit Trump’s bigoted narrative and further proves just how wasteful a southern border wall actually is.
