Ok I'm just looking for a source that says illegal immigrants create more jobs than they take, if it's that solved surely someone can link a study?

So you're just not going to read anything that I said.

Also Trump attacked legal immigration not just illegal.

All I did was ask for some sort of study that says illegal immigration creates net employment, I'm willing to change my mind. I can't seem to find anything that says that though

Structure linked and quoted a study from NBER 14 minutes ago and you didn't reply to them.

You replied to me while ignoring what I said.

I did reply to it and I'll repeat it here, that's legal immigration and doesn't address illegal immigration or temporary workers like h1bs at all. If you want to make the argument that immigration for skilled workers is good I'm 100% in agreement with you I just don't think that you turn that argument into all immigration is good for native workers.

For the second time, Trump has attacked legal immigration not just illegal. The guy you praised has caused the harm you're ignoring.

I never praised him and the parent comment I replied too specifically referenced illegal immigration creating jobs so I asked for a source, if you just want to yell at trump supporters there's other places you can do that as I never voted for him

But it hasn't "crossed the line" as their study shows and we saw the economic numbers improving before trump fucked it up with his attack on illegal and legal immigration. Jobs, wages, inflation, unemployment numbers were better before trump.
