As a furloughed scientist, I thought it worthwhile to use my PhD skills to look at evidence for the president’s claims of a national security crisis & whether his desire for a wall is an adequate justification for a government #shutdown that has cut off pay for 800,000 Americans.

In sum, there is NO EVIDENCE that there is a border crisis that requires building a wall. The number of immigrants coming into the US are decreasing, and they are not causing any upticks in crime. A wall is an unnecessary feature and would be a total waste of taxpayer money.

There is absolutely no evidence for (A). In fact, the opposite is supported – unauthorized immigration rates actually slowed down between 2010 and 2016, when it fell to its lowest level in decades (1). Overall, the population of unauthorized immigrants shrank by 13%...

In looking at the data for total apprehensions of illegal aliens across multiple years by our border patrol, these numbers have also declined (4). Because I’m a scientist and love data, I acquired the raw data and made you a graph so you could see the trends for yourself.

Studies on the subject have found no immigrant-crime link. NONE. This revelation comes from a study that attempted to correlate undocumented immigration and violent crime in all 50 states and DC using multiple data sources at the state level from 1990-2014.

For perspective, the current unemployment rate for people 16 years of age and over is 3.9% (3), greater than the number of illegal immigrants residing in our country. (Side bar: how is *this* not a national crisis?)

(A) there has been a dramatic increase in people crossing our border over time, (B) there is an increase in crime with an increase in immigration, and immigrants commit more crimes than those within our borders, and/or (C) current strategies for border security are ineffective.

between 2007 and 2016 in the U.S. As of January 2015, there were an estimated 10.7 to 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States (1, 2). That’s 3.3% to 3.7% of the total U.S. population, which was 328,337,383 on this very day in 2015.

So if you are concerned about keeping these numbers low, these observations suggest continuing to fund this agency and maintaining a steady number of agents on the ground may be an effective way to do so.

In looking at statistics from the U.S. Border and Customs Protection, two things are clear: an increase in funding (7) & an increase in staffing agents (8) over time is correlated with reduced rates of apprehension of illegal aliens. I made you more figures so you could see this.

An alternative explanation is that there are fewer people crossing our border over time (which is supported by the aforementioned studies above). Regardless, these results do not support (C) and instead suggest that the border security strategies currently in place are effective.

Here's REPUBLICAN Rep. Chip Roy calling out Trump's LIES about the border, and even reminds his colleagues that Trump failed to secure the border while he was in office. And then he tanked the border security bill. 🚨Make sure everyone knows.

I quit my job to run for office, & this is precisely why. I stepped up to challenge Chip bc he is a FAILURE of a public servant - failing to serve us unless you look like him, pray like him, or love like him. I believe in a better future for Texas, one that works FOR ALL OF US.

Roy: We have 51.5 million people who are foreign born in the US. They have about 20-25 million kids. That puts that well over 20% of our population. It's the highest such number in the history of our country. People say, isn't that great? Is it?

LOL nice try. Had my opponent supported the bipartisan border deal earlier this year, we would have had the resources needed to expand immigration enforcement. Texans know that immigrants crossing our border are seeking asylum and jobs, not victims. The race-baiting is tired.🥱

15,000 dead. Nearly half a million cases. How is it April 10th & we still do not have a federal plan for widespread testing & contact tracing in 🇺🇸 to manage this pandemic?! Many of us are doing our part & staying home. We deserve leaders who will do their part & step the fuck up

If Trump and Vance can create chaos this quickly in one city, in one state, imagine what chaos they will create for the entire country if they get elected. We cannot let that happen. If you’re not already involved in this year’s elections, it’s time to step up & DO SOMETHING!

Two of our elementary schools were just evacuated due to threats. Both of our colleges have gone virtual this week due to threats. The city just canceled our annual CultureFest because of threats. None of this was happening before Trump and Vance opened their mouths.

It may surprise no one to learn that as a scientist with a PhD in animal behavior, I keep the company of nerdy friends who like to host PowerPoint parties and drunken lectures. Lucky for you, I’m here to share my latest one that was a hit. I present to you:

As a Texan, I am troubled by the harms against my fellow Texans since #RoeVWade was undone. As a scientist, I am troubled by politicians undermining & criminalizing medical experts. I quit my job to run for Congress to fix this. Help me vote them out.

Instead of attacking people who don’t have kids, we should be attacking policies in this country that are anti-family. We need affordable & accessible childcare, affordable housing, healthcare for all, fully funded public schools, and an economy that supports working families.

Hysterectomies of immigrant women without their consent or knowledge = forced sterilization = eugenics Only by accident have we become aware of the human rights violations occurring at our border under this administration. It is unethical & inhumane. I feel like I need to vomit

Ken Paxton does not trust Texas women and does not think we are smart enough to make the best decision for ourselves. Ken Paxton is wrong. Extremists like him will face their day of reckoning on Nov 5th. It can’t come soon enough.

Cry harder. If you’re illegally here in the U.S., the last thing you’re going to do is call attention to authorities. Think about it, would a vote really be worth it? It just doesn’t make sense. What does make sense is that you are trying to distract us from your failures.

This is why @realDonaldTrump called on attaching #SAVEAct to govt funding. But a few GOP opposed effectively a 6 month spending freeze + SAVE bc it’s “not good enough,” so now we get no fight on citizen voting & a 2 month (stupidly pre-Christmas) bill with more crap attached. Yay

The reason that we knew #HurricaneBeryl is coming, where it will hit, and its severity? @NOAA - one of the agencies that #Project2025 wants to dismantle. Vote for Democrats this Nov so this right-wing nut-job plan is DOA, and we can continue to track hurricanes to stay safe.

If elected, not only would I oust an anti-science, government obstructionist in Congress, I’d also become the first woman with a STEM PhD to serve in our U.S. House of Representatives. Help me achieve this important milestone by donating to my campaign:
