    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.
