None of that is a drop of water in a rainstorm compared to the economic loss that would occur if we deported 15 million illegals.Not necessarily "violent", but they HARM the American people in many other ways.
HARMS of Illegal Immigration
1. Americans lose jobs. (especially Whites due to affirmative action).
2. Wage reduction.
3. Tax $$$ Lost (due to off books work + lower wages paid).
4. Remittance $$$ lost. ($200+ Billion/year).
5. Tax $$ lost to immigrants on welfare.
6. Increased crime.
7. Increased traffic congestion.
8. Increased pollution.
9. Overcrowding in hospital ERs.
10. Overcrowding in recreational facilities.
11. Overcrowding in government offices.
12. Overcrowding in schools.
13. Decrease in funds available for entitlements.
14. Cultural erosion.
15. Overuse of scarce resources (oil, gasoline, fresh water, jobs, electricity, food, etc)
16. Introduction of foreign diseases
17. Influx of terrorists.
18. Wildfires
19. Litter
20. Housing congestion (loss of available housing)
21. Massive housing inflation (200%) from market saturation
FALSE! The eradication of remittance loss more than makes up for the difference in wages paid.Virtually EVERYTHING would be more expensive. A LOT more expensive
I just explained to you (twice) that it would be a major economic GAIN for the US economy. Are you dense ?None of that is a drop of water in a rainstorm compared to the economic loss that would occur if we deported 15 million illegals.
But your hatred blinds you
It's called projection.I just explained to you (twice) that it would be a major economic GAIN for the US economy. Are you dense ?
And "hatred" of WHAT ? (????)

As a liberal, and a person who has lived in six different countries on three continents, these people didn't have criminal records because they hadn't been caught. But they were breaking the law.ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records, data shows
More than a third of the roughly 220,000 people arrested by ICE officers in the first nine months of the Trump administration had no criminal histories, according to new data.
The data, which includes ICE arrests from Jan. 20 to Oct. 15, shows that nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records have been swept up in immigration operations that the president and his top officials have said would target murderers, rapists and gang members.
“It contradicts what the administration has been saying about people who are convicted criminals and that they are going after the worst of the worst,” said Ariel Ruiz Soto, senior policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute.
The figures provide the most revealing look to date into the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. They were shared by the University of California, Berkeley’s Deportation Data Project, which obtained them through a lawsuit brought against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The figures don't include arrests made by Border Patrol, which has launched aggressive immigration operations in several cities in recent months.www.nbcnews.com
The data suggests the goal was never to eliminate the criminal element among the immigrant population but rather to make conditions, even for those without a criminal record, intolerable. To make those seeking immigration to the US through legal channels question whether it was worth the risk to be deported to Africa without due process. In short, to get and keep the brown people out. Using them as scapegoats in difficult economic times.
Remember, crossing the border with legal status is a civil, not criminal offense.
That's what your friendly-to-you so called "study" is. Worse yet , it is BS.It's called projection.

You are a victim of MAGAt stereotyping. White Republican voters across Appalachia and the southern states are a bigger drain on government "benefits" than minorities, including immigrants. This is just Kentucky but it is pretty much representative of most red states.Meh.
A bunch of low-skilled low-productivity workers, a bunch collecting benefits, a bunch of ESL students.
Rents and housing would be more affordable.
Healthcare spending would decline.
Doubtful.You are a victim of MAGAt stereotyping. White Republican voters across Appalachia and the southern states are a bigger drain on government "benefits" than minorities, including immigrants. This is just Kentucky but it is pretty much representative of most red states.

From the get go former trump government official and convicted criminal (is there any other kind) famously said the regime would "flood the zone" in order to disorient the opposition. The opposition being the majority of Americans.When you look at the totality of this damn circus -- the DOGE mess, theProud BoysICE spectacle, the tariff madness, the destruction of the White House, Greenland, Canada, Gaza, Ukraine, Russia, Venezuela, the budget, insulting, mocking and threatening our former friends and allies -- it's pretty clear that Trump's tragically disordered mind has infected this administration and the country like nothing has before.
Some say this is all to take attention away from his legal issues. I don't know. But only the most deluded and/or dishonest can say this has been a good thing or a positive time for America.
