[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Voter ID, strong borders and deportation of border crashers. Immigration completely controlled by who will contribute and not drain resources.

I'm open to uncontrolled borders if all social spending is eliminated in the constitution. When the borders were open in the distant past people sank or swam with zero income redistribution, free hospital services or school. Charity was 100 percent private.[/quote]

Help for the poor is more of an American tradition than you think. The first compulsory education and public schools were in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Bellevue officially became a public hospital in the early 1800s, but had been used for quarantine and medical education purposes before that. The English Poor Laws were brought to the US by colonists.

Please student some history is both recent past and earlier past.

Based on US Census Data (CATO Institute) https://www.cato.org/white-paper/immigrants-recent-effects-government-budgets-1994-2023#immigrant-public-revenues-expenditures

Every year from 1994 to 2023, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they received in benefits.
[b]Immigrants generated nearly $10.6 trillion more in federal, state, and local taxes than they induced in total government spending.[/b]
Accounting for savings on interest payments on the national debt, immigrants saved $14.5 trillion in debt over this 30-year period.
Immigrants cut US budget deficits by about a third from 1994 to 2023, and fiscal savings grew to $878 billion in 2023 (Figure 1).
Noncitizens accounted for $6.3 trillion of the $14.5 trillion debt savings.
College graduate immigrants accounted for $11.7 trillion in savings, while non–college graduates accounted for $2.8 trillion.
The cohort of immigrants entering from 1990 to 1993, just before data collection began in 1994, was fiscally positive $1.7 trillion, and was still positive after 30 years in 2022–2023 (Table 1).
Even including the second generation (see Box 1 for definitions), who are mostly still children who will become taxpayers soon, the fiscal effect of immigration was positive every year.
Immigrants in all categories of educational attainment,[b] including high school dropouts,[/b] lowered the ratio of deficit to gross domestic product (GDP) during the 30-year period.
Without the contributions of immigrants, public debt at all levels would already be above 200 percent of US GDP—nearly twice the 2023 level and a threshold some analysts believe would trigger a debt crisis.
