    Wasn’t sure if this was just a population thing, so:

    State | population | Undocumented est |  % undocumented
    TX    |     31M    |     2.0 M        |   6.4%
    FL    |     23M    |     1.2 M        |   5.2%
    IL    |     13M    |     0.59 M       |   4.5%
    MN    |     5.8M   |      100 k       |   1.7%
    CA    |     39M    |     2.9 M        |   7.4%

      It basically is. California has the most, then texas, then Florida. All around the same percentage.

        If 5-ish% of most state populations are undocumented, doesn’t that make it even more bizarre to go into Minnesota, where they don’t even have half the national average?

          I’m not talking about ICE. I’m talking about how Florida and Texas have more. It’s the same as showing a map of a statistic and it’s basically just a population map.

          ICE being in Minnesota is because Donny got his feelings hurt.

            No it’s not a population thing because MN’s percentage is substantially lower. It’s not a population map because MN’s percentage is substantially lower. That’s what the original comment meant. You have this all twisted up somehow so I’m just gonna leave it here.

              The original comment says “this”. The original post mentions both TX and FL immigrant population as well as MN.

              “This” could be interpreted two different ways in relation to the original comment. I took it to mean that the volume of immigrants per state in relation to total population of the original mentioned FL and TX.

              The percentage doesn’t matter. The percentage count be .001% or it could be 30% and they’d still go after someone that hurt Don’s feelings.
