Because the number is immaterial to the question at hand. It could be 1, or 100, or 1 million. It doesn’t change the fact that trying to argue semantics over human rights is inherently inhumane. Nor does it change the fact that these are not just numbers on a spreadsheet.

But frankly, I know you know that. There was never any real value to you asking people for it.

The fact that you ignored my point about Trump’s removal of legitimate ways to seek asylum, which undermines the validity of any dataset that could answer your question, is proof enough that you were never asking in good faith. Or do you reckon it was a coincidence that you didn’t want a source for that bit?
