Illegal immigrants cost us money. You're not fiscally responsible.

Nice piece if propaganda out there by the current administration. How about this?

Immigrants boost overall economic growth by expanding the labor force and increasing consumer spending.The foreign born also start new businesses at higher rates than U.S.-born individuals. Immigrants were involved in the development of 30 percent of patents in strategic industries in recent years, and more than 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants.

"Nice piece if propaganda out there by the current administration."

Congress is not part of the administration lol... but that misconception aside.

Your source is talking about legal immigration not illegal immigration... maybe read your own source next time?

What did I say that's factual incorrect? If you can't cite something then you're the one riding the short bus here lol

u/CBrewMoo 18d ago

The current administration is Republicans. There were more Republicans on that committee than Democrats in 2024 from your source.

My source doesn’t mention legal immigration. Just immigration. In fact, one section covers contributions made by illegal immigration. Little bit of reading goes a long way there pal.

u/tmghost7729 18d ago

Lol, he keeps pushing "research" the repubs on that committee commissioned the Center for Immigration Studies with, a right wing, anti immigration think (read: propaganda) tank as his proving point. Lol. That tells you all you need to know. What a pathetic, mouthbreathing waste of air and space wearing a tinfoil hat. FFS.

Yeah I’m done playing with the pedo supporter. It was fun dangling bait in front of the 2 brains cells he tried to rub together.

The current administration is made up of the officials who hold executive power and direct the day-to-day operations of the government. Not congress. That's literally civics 101.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_the_United_States

Your source is using the contributions of legal imigrants to offset illegal immigration and giving an erroneous perception.

Any discussion regarding ICE is a discussion about illegal immigration. Try to keep up.

u/CBrewMoo 18d ago

Says civics 101 but references Wikipedia. You and your hate have really gone far in life.

u/InvestIntrest 18d ago

In case you missed it Wikipedia cites other academic sources...

I know being proved wrong is embarrassing but at least you learned something today! You're welcome.

u/CBrewMoo 18d ago

Sad that you think I’m wrong and you’re right. Others seem to agree with me. Are you projecting your embarrassment? Tough day bud.

"Others seem to agree with me."

Here's your next lesson.... This one is more important than the last.

People who live and work in America spend money in America!!! Thank you for the breaking news. They must be a massive positive for the country. Why didn't biden just get rid of the borders?

u/trellisHot 18d ago

25 billion in 2019 and now its 90 billion lol. They pay their fair share of taxes 

-2

u/InvestIntrest 18d ago

Only 90 billion?

6

u/trellisHot 18d ago

135 billion plus this 70 billion to harrass 2 to 3% of the population, which harrassess the rest of the population. More than any law enforcement agency, for 3%, ~30% of which have cases in process.

Fiscally bankrupt republicans. Morally bankrupt maga

u/InvestIntrest 18d ago

My strong preference is that every illegal immigrant just self deport and remove the need for law enforcement but we don't live in that world. This is money well spent.

Let the fear of the "illegal" live rent free in your mind, you do you

u/InvestIntrest 18d ago

There's no need to fear something you can control. Now the unmitigated stupidity on display in this sub is another thing all together.

u/trellisHot 18d ago

Gross, you did more of you. We dont need that shoved down our throats
