As scary as Biden's border policy is, just give this a thought.

Myth #1: Immigrants take more from the U.S. government than they contribute

Fact: Immigrants contribute more in tax revenue than they take in government benefits

A 2017 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found immigration “has an overall positive impact on the long-run economic growth in the U.S.”

First-generation immigrants cost the government more than native-born Americans, according to the report — about $1,600 per person annually. But second generation immigrants are “among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S.,” the report found. They contribute about $1,700 per person per year. All other native-born Americans, including third generation immigrants, contribute $1,300 per year on average.
It’s also important to note that less-educated immigrants tend to work more than people with the same level of education born in the U.S. About half of all U.S.-born Americans with no high school diploma work, compared to about 70 percent of immigrants with the same education level, Giovanni Peri, an economics professor at the University of California, Davis, said in a recent interview with PBS NewsHour.

4 myths about how immigrants affect the U.S. economy

President Donald Trump’s characterization of immigrants, as people who are a drain public resources, is not backed by the data.

You are LYING shocker there. Illegals are a net loss to the economy FACT! And that's before we calculate the cost of the hundreds of thousands of crimes they have committed in Texas alone.

A few cities around the country are allowing legal, resident aliens vote in local elections.

I have no problem with this as local issues impact their lives. It is actually a pretty common thing among free nations. That whole "no taxation without representation" thing.

Nobody allows illegals to do so and I so no move for that to happen

It’s bizarre that you think non-citizens should have the right to frame America around their desires.
How many non-citizens could vote in local elections just a short time ago?
Do you think our founders wanted the citizens of other nations to have a say in the workings of America?
If you can’t see the writing on the wall, where this thing is headed you’re just playing stupid or you are stupid.

And make it less than 50 percent white.

Demographer William Frey discusses why youthful minorities are the engine of future growth.

White will still be a majority compared to all other ethnicities individually.

Which is why my solution is to have neither a wall nor a welfare system - up to and including "free" gubmint schools....Then all who come would have to pull their own weight.

Also eliminate payroll taxation and go to straight consumption....
Much better plan.... three to four times the revenue... control is by market forces. It's a no brainer

Or better....Shrink The State down to the relative levels it was before 1913, and have no direct taxes at all on the populace.

Let us see how that would work out. No wall so now anyone can just waltz over the border. No welfare system to support all the millions of unfortunate souls who can't find work. What are they to do but turn to crime to feed themselves and family? Another great but stupid liberal idea.

It could potentially cause that scenario yes....however it could also cause an unprecedented financial boom. Point is this....if we can't stop the influx the payroll tax system will fail anyway.

I don't give a damn about why the border is wide open or who is to blame, (all career politicians), but it is. The end result is that this country is being set up to fail.
Millions of illegals are already here. Millions more have just entered this country. At the current rate, Millions more will invade. 99.9% are coming from 3rd world locations.
It won't be long before the Demonrats will be offering all instant citizenship and the right to vote. You must understand and digest this fact. All these illegals at some point will be able to sponsor their immediate family members for entry into our country. Just how many more mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, wives, husbands, and children will that add up to?
When this comes to fruition, we will no longer be the United States of America. No longer the greatest nation on earth. There will be no American dream because we will be reduced to just another 3rd world country dominated by the hordes coming from South America, Africa, and the Middle East.
This end result is squarely on the heads of the brain-dead Liberal left.

We're pretty much there already. "The United States" is our Constitution and it's been so bastardized and undercut in so many ways we're pretty much just the US in name only.

This is however a failing issue for democrats as even legal Latino/Hispanics want a secure border and controlled immigration.

The dem's intent with this is to flood the country to the point the numbers are so overwhelming that some form of Amnesty is the only answer left.

Their hope is then to create a permanent dependent underclass that will keep them in perpetual power for the next century no matter what the final cost to the nation as a whole is.
