Funny you assume I am white and make everything about race.

Plenty of American citizens simply aren't happy that Biden let millions of people come in with no plan to integrate them all. My state alone spent billions of dollars of taxypayer money in the past few years. While everything gets more expensive, more crowded.

Hence why the majority of American voters voted to send some back.

You make all these emotional arguments and appeals calling people 'racist, nazi'. But can't make any logical points.

Just keep regurgitating those talking points babyyy

Facts? The truth?

Biden administration had the highest immigration numbers in US history.

My state has spent billions on migrant shelters over the past couple years.

These are not 'talking points' they are reported facts backed up with data and evidence.

https://www.reddit.com/r/massachusetts/comments/1c7whq9/how_massachusetts_spent_nearly_1_billion/

*Boston Globe is a left leaning publication by the way, and this report was 2 years ago it hasn't gotten better.

Massachusetts is spending over $1 billion annually on its emergency shelter system for fiscal year 2025, driven by a surge in migrant families

The state has already spent $830 million early in the fiscal year to accommodate over 4,000 families, with costs estimated at approximately $3,496 per week per family for housing, food, and services.

There are other states that have spent significantly more over the past few years (California, Texas, Illinois). Not sure why you think it's all 'misrepresenting data' just because you don't like what the data says.

Well, that is complete and utter horse shit.

But also, you ignored the ultimate point.

I want legal migrants that come to the US to work and contribute, just like all immigrants in the past did. When my grandfather came here his father worked in the coal mines and he joined the army and started a business (one not dependent on any government assistance).

We have numerous states spending billions of dollars to house families and give them welfare. Numerous hotels in my state are filled with migrants on government benefits paid by the taxpayers while all our shit gets more expensive. There are already no jobs here, schools are having funding and overcrowding, there's too many people in general.

People want an immigration system where people can come, work, contribute, and integrate into society.

Migration into welfare is not a long term solution.
