In the speech, he said it was a 2000% increase in immigration in a small town. So if that town has something like 2 immigrants in a decade (probably a pretty realistic number), then that means there were probably a handful of immigrants in that year (2000% of 0.2 is 4).
It sounds like in this case hes not mistaking, just talking about an unrelated town in a different state as a talking point to bring up immigration?
Yeah, and he’s bringing up situations in different parts of the country as well, all to make whatever his point is (I guess immigration bad?).
2000% increase? DAYUMN. If that were true, which of course it isn’t, that would be wild
I kinda wish it were true because imagine all of the amazing restaurants that would be popping up across the country with so many immigrants!

So if it’s true, it’s likely wildly misleading.
