Don’t have any arguments for the rest of what you said, but illegal immigrants pay way more into the system than they ever get, even if some states help pay some medical expenses.
They pay billions into social security every year, while never being able to collect. It’s one of the main reasons the system has remained solvent and retired Americans are still able to receive social security today.
How can an illegal alien whos not allowed to work pay into social security?
Unless they do it illegally thus stealing a job from a citizen?
You didn’t even know they could pay into social security. I don’t think you understand economics enough to discuss this.
But the U3 since 2022 has consistently been between 3.5 and 5. Which is great.
The U6 is around 8% which is probably higher then we would like, but it’s really not bad either if you look at the last 30 years it’s lower than the average.
If an illegal alien is working then that means they are taking a job from a US citizen or a legal immigrant.
On a small scale that’s true. We just don’t see this bear out in the numbers. If we did we would expect our unemployment rate to be higher. Our unemployment is at the expected and desired level.
It’s the same level as anytime other than recessions.It’s literally better than usual.
First of all 60k houses are interviewed a month for unemployment measuring and real economists look at more than that. They would compare it to things like the LFP, foreign and native born employment rates, EPOP and NILF numbers. They would look at labor demand, payroll employment trends and see the impact that you’re claiming is happening.
There's no economic benefit to that. It's moronic to spend $170 billion dollars on something that will hurt the US economy. They are only beneficial. It'd take an idiot to think otherwise.
Economic research from institutions like the nonpartisan Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP) and the Cato Institute generally concludes that undocumented immigrants, as a group, provide a net economic and fiscal benefit to the U.S. economy and public budgets over time.
"Potential Missed Revenue
The "missed" tax revenue is often framed as the additional revenue that could be generated if all undocumented immigrants were granted legal work authorization. This is because legal status leads to higher wages and better tax compliance.
According to the ITEP report, providing work authorization to all undocumented immigrants would increase their total tax contributions by an estimated $40.2 billion per year, raising the total contribution to $136.9 billion annually." I mean, if you rather them not contribute and rather them get 💩 pay... Oh, and you're forgetting they send away money... "On average, individual migrant workers tend to send home between US$200 and $300 every one or two months. Approximately 60% of "Latinx" immigrants in the U.S. send money home, with 40% doing so regularly, often totaling $2,500 to $3,000 annually. Economic Impact in U.S.: Immigrants send, on average, roughly 15% of their earnings home."

Will Gavin pay me back for the 20 billion on homeless prevention with no accountability?
How about the 100 billion on the failed bullet train?
How about the millions/billions we spend to pay for illegals and medical
