The stats for Southwest Land Border Encounters are available at https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-enc... and the HN guidelines are available at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

It's not acceptable to post in this inflammatory style on HN. The guidelines make it clear we're here for curious conversation, not battle. It's also not acceptable on HN to scour through someone's past activity (whether on HN or elsewhere) in order to attack them, and that kind of belittling language is never OK here. Please take a moment to read the guidelines and make an effort to observe them in future.

It's strange to me that you chose to not cite the guidelines to elsewhere such as:
> Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle.
Are anti-immigrant sentiments acceptable if they are simply well-articulated?
And if not, then why do you feel it necessary to be more critical of the language I or lalaithion use for explicit dismissals of racists and xenophobes than the actual racism or xenophobia itself?
