Political rants

Illegal Immigration does infact ruin the country. Alot of conservatives dont know wtf they are talking about and the left will take the most extreme version of the right and use that to prove themselves right when infact they are wrong. Illegal immigration simply in unfair. Unfair to those who go years the normal way trying to become a citizen, the fact that afghanis who came here legitimately and with government assistance that skipped the regular process altogether are basically homeless and begging for jobs and money, the fact since they have no papers and ways to track them as a citizen they can be murdered, trafficked or underpaid and overworked living in unsuitable conditions. Even if they got here illegally and have legal children their child will have to bare the weight of their whole family. Thats not even including things such as owing the cartel money for guiding them down their territory.

The right doesnt care about legal immigration. The migrant caravans are what they are complaining about. The same thing people said doesnt exist? Well with biden as president it sure doesnt look like a myth.

So you want to basically open our border up to the entire world. Places that have crime, poverty, corruption, violence, rape, robberies and all that shit even worse than us, to just waltz in unnanounced with no way of us knowing they exist. Because thats what illegal immigration is. If you just make it so everyone who comes in the us is tracked and has a background check to keep undesirable criminals out. Then thats legal immigration.

your a little young, so you probably dont remember the 'theyr taking our jobs!" mantra of the republican part circa early mid 2000s. heres a direct quote from trump on making immigration easier "You better be smart. They’re taking your jobs. You better be careful." link for context https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2014/03/06/trump-warns-gop-on-immigration-theyre-taking-your-jobs/ so yeah they are scared about immigrants takin der jerbs

No i exactly remember that and its true, they were taking jobs and were being taking advantage of as a result. See unlike alot of lefties i knew illegal immigrants from Honduras. They immigrated here on a work visa which expired and they never left. When the husband got injured on the job he had to continue working and he also got paid the bare minimum in the state of texas. This was back in 2012 for me, just imagine how many other illegal immigrants this happens to. They will take just about anythign from shady employers who wanna underpay workers and get away with it. You cant tell me this doesnt happen because so many corporations send their factories to china for the same reason.

Also white people are at skme point going to become the minority in America and this has been backed by a study. I cant be bothered to find the study. But yeah the diversity in America is growing.

nope. immigrants help the economy by working jobs and allowing businesses to expand. here "Immigrants are a critical part of the U.S. workforce and contribute to productivity growth and technological advancement. They make up 15% of all workers and even larger shares of certain occupations such as construction, food services and health care. Approximately 40% of Ph.D. scientists working in the United States were born abroad. (Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics; American Community Survey) Many immigrants are entrepreneurs. The Kauffman Foundation’s index of entrepreneurial activity is nearly 40% higher for immigrants than for natives. (Source: Kauffman Foundation) Immigrants and their children assimilate into U.S. culture. For example, although 72% of first-generation Latino immigrants use Spanish as their predominant language, only 7% of the second generation are Spanish-dominant. (Source: Pew Hispanic Center/Kaiser Family Foundation) Immigrants have lower crime rates than natives. Among men aged 18 to 40, immigrants are much less likely to be incarcerated than natives. (Source: Butcher and Piehl) Immigrants slightly improve the solvency of pay-as-you-go entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare. The 2007 OASDI Trustees Report indicates that an additional 100,000 net immigrants per year would increase the long-range actuarial balance by about 0.07% of taxable payroll. (Source: Social Security Administration) The long-run impact of immigration on public budgets is likely to be positive. Projections of future taxes and government spending are subject to uncertainty, but a careful study published by the National Research Council estimated that immigrants and their descendants would contribute about $80,000 more in taxes (in 1996 dollars) than they would receive in public services."
