Fewer illegal aliens means more jobs and a better economy for American citizens

Bullshit. COVID was a global pandemic and crisis. The Biden-Harris and Democrats created the largest spending bill in the name of inflation relief which the outcome only exacerbated inflation here in the US. While you personally may not have pissed away money, the Co-Presidents and Democrat-controlled Congress certainly did.

Inflation was world wide you dope. It wasn’t due to either Trump or Biden

It was due to Covid

Mr Businessman runs this country not us voters.

That is the way it should be.

The biggest COVID relief bill was the 2020 CARES act which was buffed by another bill later in 2020. Biden passed the ARPA in 2021 which was big too, but the bulk of COVID relief money was passed in the 2020 Congress.

He is. Both legal and illegal immigrants are a net positive.

No he’s not, read the title

Illegal aliens are not a positive

Exploiting people for cheap labor is not a positive

LOL....The resident leftists can't do anything now but try to deflect with the covid.

 

[Hellokitty]

Removing ten million workers would increase wages AND prices

There’s your supply and demand

So how coming Biden flooding the market with millions of illegals didn't result in prices going down but instead prices went up?

Unfortunately many companies are exploiting them.

Because the economy had been flooded with trillions and trillions of dollars.

 

[struth]

Unfortunately many companies are exploiting them.

Companies that donate heavily to Dem causes

 

[Marener]

Unfortunately many companies are exploiting them.

And you want those companies to exploit Americans instead.

I don’t know where you get the idea that illegal aliens are a net negative. Facts show that for the 12 years leading up to 2023 they are a net POSITIVE to the tune of 1.7 trillion.

As far as “exploiting cheap labor”… you must be a proponent of major increases in minimum wage

I suspect not

 

[Lisa558]

And that's who you're saying we should depend on for a source of labor?

Slackers?

You're so close to figuring it out.

They’re slackers because we enable them to be. The best thing we could do is cut off their welfare and force them to get work.

 

[Lisa558]

When it comes to economic benefits, both are a positive.

How is a net cost of $160 billion a year for illegals an “economic benefit”?

Forced labor.

That's your solution?

 

[Lesh]

He did no such thing

Illegals had little to do with supply chain issues or the trillions both Trump and Biden dumped into the economy

 

[Lisa558]

Forced labor.

That's your solution?

OMG. The concept of people working for a living instead of living off of other people’s money is “forced labor”?

 

[Lesh]

Forced labor.

That's your solution?

They always fall back on authoritarian government

 

[Marener]

Your number is a very dubious source.

CATO did a thorough review of the data earlier this month.

https://www.cato.org/white-paper/immigrants-recent-effects-government-budgets-1994-2023

Table 10

Illegal immigrants likely reduced deficits by $1.7 trillion​

You chose the word, not me.

force them to get work.

This is not a plan. It's campaign rhetoric. A fantasy.

 

[Marener]

They always fall back on authoritarian government

And prejudice. Remember, their data source is "driving through the ghetto" and seeing all the people on welfare who they think are going to get jobs.

And they also talked about shipping these people to, like, Alabama for some reason? Maybe they'll load them on trains or something. Who knows?
