I made no value judgment about Republicans. That was your projection. The primary cause of border issues is dysfunction in the Senate that prevents asylum laws from being improved.
No I pointed out a list of ways Finland was different from San Francisco so we should not naively assume data from there should generalize. It’s not cherry picked since it was one in a long list of ways the two are different.
Street homelessness in San Francisco has little to do with immigration, and family homelessness has little to do with illegal immigration (families from South America are largely claiming asylum through the legal process).
