Cato Institute: Immigrants Are a Net Positive

[BrokeLoser]

Based on TIN (taxpayer ID numbers) held by people ineligible to get a SSN (ex: illegals). They paid nearly $100 billion in federal taxes, including SS and medicare.

And you linked us to such retarded/bullshit data because it’s sooooo true huh?

Hmmm….but what about that pesky truth Humberto? May I ask…what part of that filty shithole to our south do your roots lie?

Hmmm…how does one with an effective tax rate of -15% yield a return for real Americans?
If one deposits $1 into the SS fund but draws out $3 on the other end aren’t they a net loss?

You posted trash from F.A.I.R.

They are considered a hate group.

They testified under oath before Congress…Did CATO?

There's always one key word missing from these think tank studies:
"LEGAL".
I have no problem with immigrants. We're a nation of 'em.
But there's a difference between someone who comes here LEGALLY, who wants to learn our culture and become part of it and learn English and fit in.
That's quite different from the ILLEGALS that have flooded our country the last few years, many of whom have zero interest in becoming part of the fabric of America. They see us as a free ride.
Well **** that.
And **** you too.

You descend from illegal immigrants. Our culture is every culture that comes here. Those illegals come here to be part of America. They pay 100 billion in taxes and get nothing back. That's not a free ride.

So? They are a bs organization and nothing they say should be respected as fact.

[BrokeLoser]

Doesn't matter.

20 million?

Good luck

Besides the fact that it’s simply not possible, it would crater the economy

hahaha…Kondor, remember when the unconventional wackos were rolling with that 11 million number for life?

 

[BrokeLoser]

[Kondor3]

Good luck indeed.

It's going to be tried anyway, and Devil take the consequences.

Does the law excuse them for being illegal aliens?

Obama holds the record for deporting illegal aliens. Why did you not call out his cratering the economy?

 

[Robert W]

You are not very observant.
Look at his legs. His left leg is straight, while his right leg is bent at the knee, and his foot off the ground.
This indicates he's propelling himself forward.
He also only had his left hand on the flagpole, someone else is holding the other end, which precludes him just standing there.

Sorry you see things like that as proof. And what cop was he hitting?

 

[knuckles]

Bullshit

Read the OP

Like I said .... it's bullshit..... local crime statistics are false..... mud colored people are being listed as WHITE.

Mud colored… wow

The fact remains that they do. They give fake numbers and employers don’t check

You stupid ****. Illegals can’t draw on SSI or Medicaid

On SSI:

"Claims from government statements that “more than 2 million ineligible illegal aliens received a Social Security Number in fiscal year 2024”

"SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and other programs have distinct eligibility rules for noncitizens. PRWORA and subsequent law limited many federal benefits for nonqualified aliens but preserved narrow exceptions for certain categories (refugees, asylees, lawful permanent residents, those in PRUCOL categories), and limited historic entitlements that predate law changes . As a result, some noncitizens can lawfully receive SSI or Social Security benefits — a nuance often elided in political claims "

How many illegal aliens received social security in 20

Executive summary Available reporting does not provide a clear, authoritative count of “illegal aliens” who received Social Security retirement benefits ...

factually.co

So, that shows your first part of your claim is false.

Now;

In general, with respect to an applicant's immigration status, noncitizen eligibility for most federal public benefits—including Medicaid and CHIP—is governed by the term qualified alien (8 U.S.C. §1641), which was created in PRWORA, as amended. Qualified aliens include lawful permanent residents (LPRs), refugees, aliens granted parole for at least one year, aliens granted asylum or related relief, certain abused spouses and children, Cuban-Haitian entrants, and Citizens of the Freely Associated States (FAS) residing in the U.S. states and territories (see text box below). (For more information on these statuses, see CRS Report R47351, Noncitizens' Access to Health Care.) Certain victims of human trafficking, Iraqi and Afghan special immigrants, and certain Afghan and Ukrainian parolees are not necessarily qualified aliens but are treated like refugees for purposes of federal public benefits. Qualified aliens who are otherwise eligible may be covered by Medicaid and CHIP, with certain specified restrictions discussed below (42 C.F.R. §435.406).

Your one line quip here is not only misleading, but outright false...

Illegals receive not only SSI benefits, but also Medicaid in differing forms such as Emergency care, and Dialysis treatment.
