Americans don't want to expend their tax dollars on folks willing to break the law for financial gain.

You'll spend way more tax money to haul them across the border than you would to just print them a permit to live and work in the community they've been contributing to for years. Every study ever conducted on the issue has concluded that undocumented immigrants contribute far more to the economy than they consume in public welfare dollars. You've let the actual tax dollar parasites pawn the blame on a scapegoat because you're addicted to being angry.

At the expense of legal immigrants who bothered to do it the right way.
Law enforcement isn't free, unfortunately.

Some of these studies exist for legal immigrants, cite the one making this case for illegals?
Do these "studies" account for second-order effects on housing, local job markets, etc.?

Yes everything improves. Displaced workers find new jobs, markets and economies expand, etc. etc.

This is just nonsense, immigration isn't a zero-sum game.

Google it, I'm at work

The money quote:
> If we examine just the net fiscal impact of unauthorized immigrants, even this is positive, despite the fact that lacking work authorization also means being trapped in low-wage work and being unable to adequately assert one’s labor and employment rights. A prime reason the net contribution is, nonetheless, positive is that many unauthorized immigrants pay income taxes and have Social Security taxes withheld yet are generally ineligible for government benefits and services.
This is a very shortsighted and frankly dumb argument. You would give up constitutional rights, to allow an unchecked police force, to arrest anyone they want, to save a few tax dollars?
So stupid.
All his replies in this thread are this false kneejerk boomerism.
Sad, sick people. No empathy. No heart.
"No empathy" - how about not wanting to fund criminal enterprises using the tax dollars of hard-working Americans? Who has empathy for them - the people financing this "charity?"
Why is importing unskilled foreigners the hill to die on?

Then why do they keep electing the lackeys of those people into office.
The American people are idiots.
the last election speaks otherwise
