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.

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.

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.

(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.

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.

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:

I just gave to Dr. Hook!

I know someone who should be doing their “actual functional job.” My opponent has spent 6 years in office and taken $1M in taxpayer dollars while delivering diddly squat for our district. That is why I am running to #FlipChip in #TX21 ! Are you with me?

The majority of Texans favor public education, not these voucher scams. This is a classic example of corrupt politicians serving their donors instead of the people they were elected to serve. Our fight continues to root out the corruption and save our public schools in Texas.

Chip Roy spends every minute of his day fear-mongering about immigrants & the urgency of the border crisis. But the minute there’s a bipartisan deal to address it, he cries fowl. He doesn’t care about solutions. He just wants something to campaign on. Texans deserve better.
