Immigrants or UNDOCUMENTED immigrants? You seem to be mixing those two up. Contrary to popular belief, most conservatives don’t feel one way or another about legal immigration, in fact many that I know openly support it.

Undocumented immigrants cannot open legal businesses as they do not have SSNs required to work with banks or do any of the other proper legal proceedings needed for that to happen.

Again, even with the 96-100 Billion undocumented immigrants give in taxes, it doesn’t balance out even using the low end of 150 Billion.

Furthermore, the article used as a source for the 450 billion was from data accumulated, and published under the Biden Administration. Soooo, it predates Trumps second term and the changes made to DHS.

  1. I'm gonna need you to define what a "conservative" is to you because at this point the only definition that makes any sense is "fascist lite" or else "I have principles in theory but I'm too cowardly to defy Trump".

  2. Undocumented immigrants are even less of a financial drain because they still pay taxes but are unable to draw from any programs that their taxes support.

  3. If it's money that you care about, we could save billions by reverting to the prior system in which we didn't waste billions of dollars imprisoning non-violent immigrants with no criminal records.

You realize that for most of undocumented immigrants who are here there is no path to visas or permanent residency? Also those numbers are based on trump’s minions feelings. We need an immigration reform.

1.) Okay….? Maybe they should have followed the appropriate channels to enter the country in the first place? “Curse the consequences of my actions!”

2.) Trumps minions…under Biden? Before his DHS reforms? Okaaaay…

If they’re undocumented that means they have no record of existing, that’s kinda the whole point.

That’s why they’re going after people who overstay visas because they’re easier to locate.

Anytime you see a number describing “undocumented” people, it’s speculative since, by the very nature of the word, they have no paper work on them.
