Taxpayers are justified at being tired of continuing to pay for these lawbreakers.
If conservatives didn't lie, they'd having nothing to say.
When Trump tells you how much the illegals consume in social services, does he tell you how much they contribute to GDP, and taxes? Haven't you ever wondered why the Republican Party has refused to even discuss immigration reform since Ronald Reagan was President? Why all of the deportation prior to Trump have taken place under Democratic Presidents, and Republicans stopped immigration enforcement?
Probably not, but I'm going to give you the answer anyway. Illegal immigrants contribute more to the US economy, than they cost the taxpayers.
4 myths about how immigrants affect the U.S. economy
Here's a little report on how Trump removed all talk of tax contributions by refugees from his own report because they showed that refugees contributed more to the economy than they cost the taxpayers.
Trump Administration Rejects Study Showing Positive Impact of Refugees
When the truth doesn't confirm his narrative, Trump just lies.
And there are reports that say just the opposite, and not from such biased sources like PBS.
So there is only one way to really solve this debate, and that is get rid of every illegal immigrant and then see what happens to this country.
If we get rid of every illegal immigrants?
Who do you think will do the work Ray? Do you honestly believe that the economy is this good with out the help of these illegals?
Who pismoe or bear or basque?
Not only would the country do just as well, but it would be better.
Who would do the work? Americans. The same Americans that have always done the work. It's just that to attract American workers, they may need to increase wage offers. They may need to compete for employees with other industries.
Bullcrap Ray. I can’t even find enough workers right now. Unemployment is so low.
Try go and hire Americans that will do some of these cheap labor jobs. Where are they? I need warehouse workers published both locals and nationals here in California, Allentown and Atlanta....... Where are they Ray? It’s impossible for me to hire illegals.
Secondly there are millions remember millions of these illegals that are working. Where do you find millions of Americans willing to accept low paying jobs. Even if you increase the pay where do you find millions of workers?
If you are whitey or Americans and you don’t have a job right now .... must be retarded.
Agreed. But we still have over 50 million Americans on food stamps for crying out loud. Social programs are more your enemy than getting rid of illegals.
If you want American workers, you keep increasing wage offers until you get interested applicants. That's how the middle-class survives and expands. But we can't do that now with all the foreigners (legal and illegal) in this country.
