What to do with the $800 billion the illegal aliens send home?

[Ghost of a Rider]

Personally, I don’t give a shit if they send money to their home countries as long as they’re paying TAXES here.

I never claimed that Trump hired illegals. I said he hired foreigners legally and imported them instead of MAGA and hiring Americans.

So you are asking for a link to something I haven't said?

BTW - Links to stories about Trump hiring foreigners were already provided in previous posts.

Sure! Nice deflection. Your TDS is overactive today.

They aren't.

 

[Ghost of a Rider]

They aren't.

In those cases, fuck ‘em.

Most illegas jobs are not picking strawberrys

Even though thete are American citizens alive today who have done those jobs

So do tell us Americans are too good to do that kind of work

As for incentive I think not getting welfare would change their minds

What welfare do they get?

 

[Mac-7]

What welfare do they get?

Food stamps, AFDC, free housing, the usual stuff

I can tell you that Lesh will jump in to say illegals don’t get this. There are MILLIONS of illegals getting these by virtue of Mama giving birth on American soil.

Plus, they are displacing AMERICAN citizens who are on a waitlist for subsidized housing.

When I taught financial literacy to low-income people (pre-COVID), one of my students had three kids, with a husband earning $44,000 a year, and they were on a list for a subsidized apartment. The list was two years long, and that’s largely in part because there are a TON of illegals in my liberal county.

Probably so

But i have a different snare waiting for Lesh should he/she/it choose to respond

Illegals are not eligible for food stamps

Some illegals waiting for court dates get some financial aid . Until those court dates those people are legally here.

It isn’t much and it certainly isn’t why they come here

So a tiny few are on the dole?

Or more than a few?

Maybe most illegals are sucking off the public teat?

Yes, the majority of illegals (60%) are on one or more welfare programs.

Key Data on Federal Benefits Paid to Illegal Immigrant Households

Soaring illegal immigration during the Biden-Harris administration was a major campaign theme, with a pre-election Harvard poll finding Americans considered immigration the second-most important issue—right behind inflation and ahead of the economy. An AP exit poll seconded that ranking, with 39...

Nope we know that’s not true

Most of those get food benefits for their LEGAL children. And that is a pittance. Certainly not a reason to come here

 

[Seymour Flops]

OK
If you want to tax their work, then give them temporary work visas, let them work legally, earn a fair wage and pay taxes

Why would employers hire them at a fair wage? They could get Americans for that.

Yeah, they’re anchor babies. And 60.% of the illegals are doing so. That is costing Americans a fortune.

What about my student who couldn’t get subsidized housing because all the cheaper apartments are where the illegals have settled, and they take up the subsidized apartments making it harder for honest Americans to get in?

You ducked the issue, coward

Most Americans won’t do the work they do.

Absurd. At a fair wage, they would do it. We have trash pickup men in our neighorhood that do hard work in the sun, dealing with other people's garbage. They get a fair wage so they do it.

That “fair wage” (well above minimum wage)would put farmers out of business and raise the cost of goods trmendously
