Immigration and borders, sentence 7

Big claims like "all of them" or "millions flooding in" are worth checking against official numbers; the numbers can be big without matching what a scary video says.

Who acts: millions, Big claims, numbers, scary video · What happens: flood, be, check, match, say · To what, where: official numbers · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Immigration and borders» of the politics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (millions, Big claims, numbers, scary video), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×3, R7-rel-agree ×2, R8-pos-agree ×2. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
