Maybe, but it didn't happen because of a gate that let in 10-20 people per minute. Intentional or not, I am calling this out as a propaganda piece, designed to illicit a specific response. In this case, one that isn't inline with what is actually being seen.
It's gate #42. That means there are at least 41 other gates that are also open. And that's just in El Paso. The official numbers now are nearly 10,000 daily. That's the ones who stand there, surrender, and tell that bullshit sob story pleading for amnesty using whatever script the lawyers teaching them gave them. 10,000 per day. Every day. And that's just the ones we catch because they're surrendering in order to abuse the system.
Skepticism is good, but this is kind of ridiculous in the face of the evidence we have.
I am talking about THIS VIDEO and all the information contained within it. You are giving a scope of the larger picture, though you have provided no actual evidence. It isn't that I don't believe you, but it is important to note, since my statement that you are responding to is all about what is presented.
Propaganda can be true or false. It can (because of how we have been trained) be intentional or unintentional. Regardless of intent or veracity, propaganda's design purpose is to take a piece of something and present it, without all the important context, with the design of eliciting a specific response despite not having all the important context. Propaganda is an incomplete information that is designed to guide societal belief and action.
That is exactly what this is.
YOU have provided more context (again, without actual evidence, but within the scope of this discussion I understand, and I am not asking for it). What this video shows is something that looks very orderly, and very slow. It even looks like they are being checked before entering. It all seems pretty reasonable actually, without the larger context. Yet it is presented as "an invasion." THIS is not what an invasion looks like. There is no way to extrapolate all of your claims from this video and the text of the tweet, yet it is designed to create the belief that one should extrapolate all of your claims.
This is not me being "skeptical." I am aware of the larger problem (or at least other evidence of it). This is me talking about how we present information and the flaws in our methods. If you want to convince someone that there is a problem when they believe there isn't one, this piece, that looks exactly like propaganda, will not convince anyone of the actual problem at all, because of the reasons I have stated.
Communication is key. There are methods that work to convince, and methods that do not, and methods that only work to create a divide. Those that already believe, or already know the other context will be more convinced. Those that do not will be less convinced and consider the presentation suspect, thus creating a further division.
This is an information war. Learning how to communicate the problems in a way that people can see is essential. People have been brainwashed. They have received specific training to ignore the problems,, or worse, view them as the opposite of a problem. That is what we are fighting. Things like this accomplish the opposite of intent (or apparent intent). That is what I am calling out.
A gate that allows in two or three at a time is going to take a fair bit of time for a sizable invasion.
"By 2030, our country will be overrun."
I live in the south. Our country is overrun!

According to CBP 100,000+ border crossings a month.
The average U.S. city has an average population of 6,200.
Assuming 100,000 illegal crossings a month means 16 American cities taken over a month or essentially 16 new cities of illegal immigrants every month.
OK sure, but that has basically nothing to do with this video, which is what I was addressing.
Was just tacking on to what you said that's all.
