They still pay income taxes, payroll taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, property taxes on vehicles, etc., and, if you understand economics, renters pay property tax indirectly because the landlord includes the cost of the property tax in the rent price. |
They get free medical care and schooling at the expense of American taxpayers, I understand the desire to do better for your family but either we have laws as a country or we don't. Resources are not infinite, people are simply fed up, Americans have been generous for a very long time but it's not sustainable. This is not about being mean or nasty, it's just that this set up is simply not sustainable. |
Not to worry! Deserving migrants are being flown in from South Africa next week by the US State Department. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to partake in American generosity. |
PP here. I forgot to clarify that they are White Afrikaners. And they're getting all kinds of perks and being moved right to the head of the line. |
If they pay taxes, how is it free? For gods sake, the red state welfare queens take more federal money he than the immigrants that work for a living. This inept administration can’t even deport the right people! I’d gladly exchange two magas for every immigrant that gets to stay. Value is down, though, the exchange rate might be 3:1 at this point. |
The fascism taking place by ICE today in Newark, NJ is off the charts and unacceptable. |
Are you as upset about the billions of dollars Trump and Musk are raping our country for over the few dollars of benefits these people *might* be getting? |
They pay the same taxes you do. |
They don't get free medical care, and certainly minimal if any medical care at all. With respect to schooling, would you rather those kids jusr roam the streets all day uneducated and causing trouble? Think of how many of those kids have gone on to be productive members of our society, paying taxes and raising families. Why is this a bad thing? The criminals? Sure, kick them out. |
Not only do they pay the same taxes, but if they are undocumented, they don't get the benefits. So their productivity is a net positive to the US budget. |
No, many of them do not. You are either extremely naive or being intentionally obtuse. When mom, dad, three kids or more, and grandma, grandpa and others live in a cheap apartment, mobile home or small rental, they are not paying the anount in taxes needed to support their medical care, birth of more babies, and all the supports they receive in the puvlic schools. . |
Go share your fairytale at the nearest public s hool with 60% or more ESOL kids. |
We just saw in New Jersey, Democrats raided ICE! |
When they are using the Spanish-language interpreter at the emergency room, do you seriously expect us to believe they are ever going to pay the medical bills they rack up? How about when an undocumented mother with no legal status in the U.S. (and no insurance), gives birth at a cost to the hospital of more than $50,000 - per child? The mother will pay back ZERO dollars. |
Actual economics undermine your stereotypical false assumptions. |
