Step away from the Twitter: Mark Cuban's illegal immigration hot take is REALLY dumb

Mark Cuban thinks the biggest illegal immigration problem is the infiltration of our social networks.

Have you not seen the tweets and Facebook likes crossing the border?

Congratulations to Cuban for coming up with an illegal immigration take that has absolutely nothing to do with illegal immigration.

When will you realize that you’re talking about a completely different subject right now?

This is stupid and the analogy is horrifying. Should governments erect internet "borders" to protect from the spectre of online "immigrants"… https://t.co/N9xUMQyDnA

Cybersecurity is important. Dealing with illegal immigration is important. Why are we conflating the two issues?

Should we build a Facebook wall?

One powerful limit on the social-media influence of foreign governments would be a well-informed and web-literate population https://t.co/wZVTuvReB0

If we’re going to make a comparison, though, let’s ask the victims of violence caused by those who have illegally entered the United States and their families which they consider to be a more dangerous threat.
