[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s more expensive to have illegal immigrants living illegally in our country. It’s worth the investment to deport them and secure the border. We can’t take care of American citizens, why are we letting people from other countries come to our country against our laws, and taking care of them?

We have the money to deport illegal immigrants and secure our border.[/quote]

Lol. Would love to see a citation for this. Of course you won't be able to provide one and will scream "cry more liberal" when asked. [/quote]

It’s not. Undocumented immigrants pay $96B in taxes annually at all levels to offset benefits.

Let’s fine Walmart for underemployment of its workers, who use benefits disproportionately.

Let’s fine white plumbers and electricians and severs who don’t report all their income.

It is adorable that you believe $96B comes anywhere close to covering the cost of massive amounts of illegal immigrants in our society.  [/quote]

In addition to taxes, illegal immigrants put around $254 billion a year into the US economy.  And, the cost TO the US taxpayer is significantly less than that. [/quote]

What is your point?

Tourists also pour in billions of dollars into our economy.  When you travel to Europe, does the fact you pay VAT, hotel, and all sorts of other taxes there entitle you to their country's benefits that are given to citizens?  Hell no.  He argument that illegal immigrants pay taxes via sales, etc. is dumb.  Those are consumptive taxes everyone pays. We don't grant citizenship to tourists simply because they come here and eat food or buy clothes.  The lion's share of taxes are paid for by INCOME taxes to both the state and federal govt.  You cannot earn legal income in the United States without a valid I9 and a SSN/ITN.

Pray tell how all of these illegal immigrants are holding legal jobs with valid I9s and are all getting SSN/ITN to pay their required share of INCOME taxes that our citizens are forced to do.  Taxes paid from consumption is a ludicrously stupid argument. [/quote]

Let's up the ante for the employer.

Make it a criminal offense with significant fines and mandatory jail time for the C-suite (leadership) and board of directors.  We can allocate the 96 billion in taxes paid by undocumented immigrants for enforcement.  I bet the employment of persons who are not lawfully able to work drops when the CEO faces 10 years in jail and a 10 million dollar fine (noninsurable or reimbursable) for employing a dozen or so illegals.  Your Uncle John who hired the guy to help with the fence?  He's off to jail for a year.  50,000 dollar fine.[/quote]
