« on: September 11, 2018, 01:42:59 PM »The Mexican 'bad ones' immigration story boils down to this: Our republican candidaate has said(without proof) that Mexican govt sends bad people to the US. The Mexican govt denies this(without proof). Since no one can prove a negative, politifact has to somehow determine that the negative is correct and that the candidate is false.Spot on. Their level of “research” amounts to no more than a few Google hits. Period, end of story. And from that they “conclude” truths and lies. And when they can’t confirm shit and are judging a conservative or Republican, guess which way the arrow points. They do the same thing with Scott Walker in Wisconsin.
To do this, politifact would need to investigate every illegal alien who comes over the border, and then investigate the Mexican govt beyond their assertion that the do not send 'bad people' to the US. It can't be done, so the politifact people decide to believe the Mexican govt officials, who have a vested interest in denying a story about exporting criminals. It's a judgment call, that no one can ever prove one way or the other.
