They also pay taxes but don’t receive benefits. It’s a terrible idea to send them away.
Fun Fact (or maybe not so fun fact depending on how you look at it): Some landlords actually want to lease to undocumented immigrants, because they are much less likely to cause issues, file complaints, or commit crimes.
(Also because they tend to pay cash so the landlord can under report their income…)
A simple solution to deal with undocumented immigrants is to document them
This is true across the entire Western world, btw.
Along with horseshit arguments like “but there’s not enough houses for them” and “but what about healthcare”, as if getting rid of the people who work in building and healthcare will magically make the situation better.
Also, at least in Germany we desperately need immigrants to keep health care from collapsing (especially elder care).
Being against illegal immigration is not the same thing as being anti-immigration.
Well of course if you just do a pure 1:1 comparison of numbers citizens will have higher numbers. There’s more of us!
If you do per capita, however…
Yeah it’s still citizens.
By a lot
I’d rather we cracked down on foreign work visas being abused to take away middle-class jobs.
The undocumented worker or the far scarier illegal alien will pay more this year in taxes that Aotus.
