So states that fund millions of illegal immigrants food lodging clothing etc, states that don’t prosecute property crimes, states that have massive healthcare subsidies and homeless encampments are cheaper to live in than states that don’t do those things??? I can do this all day.
Ok tell me again about the Sesame Street isis connection.
Sounds like you would support a bill that provided for a lot more judges etc to expedite the many court cases regarding asylum?
It is a verifiable fact that blue states put more in the federal pot via federal taxes and receive less in return than red states. You’re confusing different things
They don’t want the system to work better, they just want the US to be whiter
You’re telling me you don’t see how teaching kids about respect, kindness, toleration of differences, etc can be used to combat extremist ideologies?
Illegal immigrants do not put more in in taxes than they take out. Dishonest lie.
Can you imagine someone saying "they just want (insert anything) to be blacker"?

Fact Check | Are Black people the majority of welfare recipients?
THE CLAIM: The majority of people on welfare assistance are Black. “Welfare queens” exist and they constantly take advantage of government social support programs. OUR RATING: False.
Illegal immigrants arent subsidized. They pay more in taxes than they take out
Ok if it’s mostly dem voters then why do red states pay less than they take than blue voters?
I was only making the point that more poor whites receive social assistance than any other group and they tend to vote Republican. That's all...
Are you ****ing high. I’m done with this one.
Right, and they ultimately pay more in taxes than they take out of the system.
Take a chill pill man. I’m just telling the truth. Go look it up. Many studies have shown that immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive. Typical conservative to not be able to have a conversation and for them to meltdown when they get pushback.
Always goes to name calling. Racist, homophobe, Islamophobe, anti semite, etc.. Always. Literally it’s the play book and it’s so played out.
Because Republican policies make people poorer and republicans are fine with states being poor as long as they’re at the top. They aren’t interested in actually improving their states
Yeah, like I'm going to believe some random conservative on tiktok over countless published, fact checked, and peer reviewed studies 🙄
Another lone study from an organization that is incredibly biased against immigration/is immigration restrictionist? Yeah ok
This should do just fine.
Report prepared by a guy at Center for Immigration Studies, an incredibly biased source and called out for being full of crap by everyone across the political spectrum. They aren't a legitimate source in the slightestThis should do just fine.

Conclusion
Illegal immigrants are a significant net fiscal drain -- paying less in taxes than they use in public services. The primary reason they create more in costs than they pay in taxes is their relative low levels of education. Based on prior research, 69 percent of adult illegal immigrants have no education beyond high school, compared to 35 percent of the U.S.-born. As a result, they tend to earn modest wages and make modest tax contributions even when income and payroll taxes are taken out of their pay. This fact, coupled with the relatively heavy demands they make on public coffers -- especially for education, health care, and means-tested programs -- is the reason they are a net fiscal drain.
We estimate that 59 percent of illegal immigrant households use one or more major welfare programs, costing roughly $42 billion a year. At the local level, the largest single cost is for public education. We estimate the cost of educating the children of illegal immigrants, most of whom are U.S.-born, totals $69 billion per year. While illegal immigrants often receive other services for their U.S.-born children, even when we estimate the net fiscal impact of just the illegal immigrants themselves, excluding their U.S.-born children, we still find they create a lifetime net fiscal drain of $68,000 on average (taxes paid minus benefits received).
Even though illegal immigrants are net fiscal drains, they do pay a significant amount in taxes. We estimate illegal immigrants pay $25.9 billion a year to the federal government. Unfortunately, their tax contributions do not cover their consumption of public services.
The net fiscal drain is not the result of illegal immigrants being unwilling to work. In fact, we find that illegal immigrant households are significantly more likely to have at least one worker than households headed by the U.S.-born, and there is little evidence that immigrants come specifically to get welfare.
Legal immigrants and U.S.-born Americans who have relatively few years of school are also a net fiscal drain on average because they too tend to earn modest wages, make modest tax contributions, and use social services extensively. None of this should be seen as a moral failing on the part of low-income people. Nonetheless, it is the reason why communities across the country worry so much about losing their middle-class tax base, as it is primarily middle- and upper-income people who keep public coffers full.
The fiscal situation today is very different from the situation more than 100 years ago during the last great wave of immigrants, when federal, state and local government was a much smaller share of GDP. Also, at that time industrial jobs for the less educated were plentiful and paid, by the standards of the day, relatively high wages. But none this is the case today. We need an immigration policy that reflects current realities, and we need to rigorously enforce it. Otherwise, the fiscal costs will be significant, as many communities across the country are currently finding out.
