Wait a cotton-pickin (no offense to immigrant cotton-pickers, legal or illegal) minute! How come you are ready to trust data from the Social Security Administration but not the US Border Patrol? Using your logic wouldn't the SSA be at least as biased as any other source with an agenda? You seem like a nice person so please consider abandoning Your Own Private Alamo. There is a swell book that might help you called The Fallacy Detective. After reading it I trust you will do a better job arguing whatever point you are trying to make. http://www.triviumpursuit.com/catalog/the_fallacy_detective.htm

Um, because I know how to do math? It's not hard. If you know the formula, and your gross wages over the years, you too can figure it out.
