Fact check? Nope, "changing the subject"

I'm going to only link to this one, but it seems that just about every "fact check" of President Trump's speech last night succeeds only in changing the subject.  Confronted by a quarter million crimes being committed by illegal immigrants last year?  Change the subject to the fact that some of those crimes were immigration crimes and link to a study that didn't see overall rises in the per capita crime rate.  It's not like more capitae against which the crimes are committed means anything, except for the fact that it does. 


Going further, point out that the native born also commit crimes--um, that was in dispute?  Really?  Concerned about the fact that illegal drugs are indeed being carried across a largely unsecured border?  Don't worry, most of those drugs arrive by air or sea. 


Brilliant example of changing the subject, I guess, but if that's going to be the ethics of the left, they can shut up about the matter, forever.
