Regardless of my party affiliation/registration, I will vote based on one issue--strict control of our borders.
Other than right to life/abortion issue is anyone else approaching the next presidential election as a single issue voter ? If other than right to life/abortion, what is that issue ? |
"Immigrants pay more than $90 billion in taxes every year and receive only $5 billion in welfare. Without their contributions to the public treasury, the economy would suffer enormous losses. "
https://www.aclu.org/other/immigrants-and-economy I am fiscally conservative and I like these numbers. So if I were single issue, Gee then Dem it is, to quote PP. |
I think we all learned our lesson about republicans and the border. Bunch of con artist scammers. Go with the Dems and let's get something real done. |
Biden has dedicated more money to border control. He has authorized more drones and other equipment as requested from DHS. He has more drug recovery than Trump. He has more human interdictions than Trump. He has more deportations than Trump. He has invested more in Central America to address the root issues of people wanting to emigrate. So to answer your question, you should be voting Democrat. |
Too bad you got played by whatever media you are consuming. |
OMG!!!!! The article says Immigrants. It does not say Illegal Immigrants (Migrants). So perhaps Legal immigrants who come here and work contribute much more to the treasury than is taken out. Sure. I’m a legal immigrant and have been working here for past 24 years. But my family was screened, and we entered the USA the right way. I’ll rust the NY Mayor, Adams, who says they have a crisis and the Illegal Immigrants who are paying ZERO in taxes will cost the city 2 Billion dollars this year to house, feed, and take care of them. That is just the 40k migrants they have in NY! How about the other 1-2 million that have come here since last year? |
Uh, no. Democrats have all 3 branches of government for the past 2 years…this problem got out of control with Biden in charge. So if so lot understand how having open borders and having millions of people cross over will be better by having Democrats staying in control? Also throwing more money at the problem like more, judges, agents, surveillance won’t fix the issue if another 2million people cross the border next year. How many 100’s of billions of dollars do yo you want to spend on this? How many more crowded schools do you need that can’t get the kids in? How many more hotels in NY will be filled with migrants? Why is there suddenly billions of dollars available for this when we did not have billions of dollars to help our homeless, veterans, minority communities??????? |
Uh, illegal immigrants pay sales and other taxes but are otherwise not in the system, so whatever they pay in, they get zero out. |
Are you forgetting the Caravans during the Trump years? How short our memory is. And...the Dems have offered an immigration reform bill that covers a lot of issues, but guess who votes against it? The GOP. Why? Because they want to keep people like you angry, rather than, you know, dealing with the problem. Also, you say "uh, no" but the facts matter, the current Administration has recovered more drugs, indicted more people, deported more illegal people, etc than the Trump Administration did. Maybe research it a little before commenting next time. |
Ah, you'd never vote for Biden or a Democrat even if there was no issue and not a single illegal immigrant crossed. You'd still say it was their fault no matter what the Democrats do to address the issue. Trying to convince you otherwise is a fool's errand. |
Yeah, not really. So they pay some sales tax. Most of the illegals in NY for example are fully subsidized. Free place to stay, free health care, free food, even free metro passes!! So when Adams says these migrants are costing city 2 Billion this year alone, no way that the the “sales tax” that they are paying is even covering 1/1000 of the cost they are causing the city! |
Unfortunately your statistics degree sucks. Let’s go with the drug issue… So let’s say Trump was able to capture 20 percent of the drugs crossing the border and Biden was able to capture the same percentage. Then let’s say under Trump, the illegals crossing the border in year 2000 were 500k and year 2022 were 1 million people. The. You are capturing more drugs BECAUSE yo I have double the people crossing the border illegally! The increased investment in South and Central America is not helping as number of crossing are doubled. There are more interaction because you have double the people crossing illegally. So quoting that you are collecting more drugs, deporting more people, etc. is not a good thing… it means you have MORE people coming here illegally hence the Increased numbers. |
More drug recovery means much more drugs are getting in illegally that they haven't caught. More human interdictions means many more people sneaking in over the borders who haven't been caught. People are coming in from all over--many more not from central America than are from there. |
And yet, illegal immigration has been at its highest in 20 YEARS under Biden's "watch". Also - "root issues"?? Spare us all. DP |
Exactly. Liberals love to conflate legal and *illegal* immigrants, as if they're the same group. They are not. |
