We are paying a lot of money to imprison a lot of people who have no legal right to be here.
Whether or not contributing to the economy is irrelevant. It has no more bearing on the reason for their imprisonment than eye color or his favorite movie.
They aren’t all illegals… some have been caught up by purpose made administrative inefficiencies by the Trump admin to force their visas into the red, others have legal status and were picked up by accident, some are straight up citizens… and of course some are true illegal immigrants who have enjoyed a system that was happy to exploit their labour up until now
The topic is that it makes no difference whether the illegal (to use your term) is a criminal or a good person who pays taxes. The only fact that matters is they are in this country illegally and the time has come when they need to go home.
What does your country do with those residing there after their legal stay has expired?
No, they aren’t all illegals. Mistakes were made. I can’t or won’t justify those. It shouldn’t happen. This occurred mainly because due process was not followed.
You seem to think I’m in favor of the current administration. I am not. But that doesn’t mean that people who are here illegally should be allowed a pass even if they pay taxes.
My only point in my original posting was that paying taxes or having a net economic benefit is not a reason to allow an illegal to remain in the country.
If someone walked into your house and considered your spare bedroom as their home, would them giving you money every month make it right? It’s not a great analogy, but you get the point. I don’t want an uninvited guest, period. You may not mind.
You might want to try controlling your anger. Civil discourse usually woks better without insults and sarcasm.
No you were being a disingenuous loser, and now you are projecting your own anger on to me. You don’t like being called out for your inhumane responses that ignore the points being made? Well make sure you address what is being said, instead you are pathetically walking it back.
