So you're saying the convoy should have seen people flooding across the border?

I'm saying that not every place along the border is crossable as you had suggested in your prior post.

No, you've changed what you think I was saying about 4 times now, and now you're attempting to play sophism by straw manning down to tiny, insignificant details that aren't relevant to the overall point so that it appears you were correct. It's clear you didn't understand what I was saying. It's also clear that when I now ask you: "So, how much of the border would you say is crossable in that 3,100 km odd range" that you won't be able to tell me, and when I follow up with: "So was there enough members of the convoy to cover all those areas we believe could be crossed?" you won't know, and when I ask: "So when they arrived, did they check all the entry points?" we won't have an answer and that you're incapable to simply saying: "Oh, I misunderstood your point. Sorry."

I'm not sure why you're being like this. My point was simple: I doubt the convoy would have arrived to say huge lines of people waiting to get in. There isn't a single point where migrants all agree to sneak across the border, and given the range of the border, a very large number could cross ever day without being seen despite a convoy trying to cover it. I assume you're either simply feeling ashamed of misunderstanding the original post and now need to find something to be "Right" about, are a desperate contrarian, or have just been on the internet so long that you think you need to disagree with everyone about the border no matter what they say because they are all idiots in favour of open borders... Or you take your username very seriously. No matter the case, this isn't a productive discussion.

I AM correct. You're the one that wants to focus on "Well how many border crossing areas are crossable in that range." It doesn't matter how many areas are crossable, the entire point I was and STILL am making is that ANY crossing at all isn't desired due to the damage and strain they are causing on the locals where they ARE crossing. Why can't you just admit there is a problem with illegals crossing over the border. Hey because if you don't think it's a problem we can bus them up and send to them to your house.

I don't know if English is your first language or what your problem is. You have once again flip flopped to trying to make it seem like I was saying border crossings aren't happening or aren't an issue. When you sober up, try reading this thread from the start. You can even start from just here where I attempt to explain it to you: https://saidit.net/s/MeanwhileOnReddit/comments/c8mz/reddit_thinks_the_border_crisis_is_fake/15f1v

Keep yelling into the wind if you like. If you want to pretend you're still having a conversation, feel free to re-read my old replies out loud.
