18 of 20 undocumented children failed to show up to their first immigration hearing in Dallas federal court. That’s an unusually high number that raises concerns that it could be a trend.

You can't fix stupid.

But in this instance I have brickbats for the reporter, too. Using "18 out of 20" as a percentage addressed to a public which displays almost total ignorance of basic arithmetic, national events and governmental abuse...

The reporter couldn't reduce this to an understandable number? Like 9 out of 10, or 90%?

Am I expecting too much?

It was basic reporting.

20 illegals were supposed to go to court.

18 of the illegals didn’t show up.
