based in the graph it can easily be shown his statements reflect the numbers within a 20 year period
So you think Donald Trump is mainly referring to the issue of illegal immigration as a problem that has gotten worse over a 20+ time year window? Is that how you justify all of this to yourself?
What about his comments on how Obama has handled illegal immigration? H'es putting a lot of the blame on Obama. And what about illegal immigrants "pouring" over the border in recent years?
There are actually less illegal immigrants in the US right now than there were before Obama was president. Illegal immigration was something that really exploded under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. Yet Trump talks about it like a lot of it is Obama's fault...I wonder if that sort of rhetoric has a political motive that isn't rooted in reality.

How do you feel about Bernie endorsing Hillary? I've seen some bernie or bust folks lose their shit browsing the net comments
It's the right move. Of the two viable presidential candidates left, Hillary is the best choice. Electing Donald Trump would be a disaster, and Bernie fully realizes that. Additionally, they differ in some key areas, but there are also a lot of similarities between Hillary and Bernie's platforms.
It's also not surprising. Both Hillary and Bernie pledged to support the eventual DNC nominee.

You could say that, but I think it is my civic duty to support the candidate that I think is best for America. I also reserve the right to criticize Hillary Clinton even though I am likely voting for her. Voting for a candidate does not imply you agree with everything the candidate stands for. I'm just a practical and realistic person. Bernie lost, I've moved on, and now it's time for me to do what I think is best for my country.
