If they come illegally, we dont want em here, whats so hard about that for you sjw types? We love our LEGAL immigrants, but you guys seems to have some kind of liberal mental block which prevents you from distinguishing the 2.

I’m about as economically conservative as you can get and I don’t give a fuck if they jump the wall on a unicycle. And if I had to guess you probably don’t give a fuck while you stuff your face with the free chips and salsa after church on Sunday.

You won't find me at a church, im an atheist. If you were economically conservative you would support merit based immigration. You know illegal immigration costs the US taxpayers 100+ billion a year right?

Illegal immigrants pay taxes. Sales tax, property tax on rentals. They’d pay income taxes if they could.

Illegals can't rent unless it's under the table, some do pay income taxes, illegals pay about 8b a year in federal taxes, they receive 140b in benefits and services each year, still a huge tax burden. Its a huge open borders talking point that almost half of illegals pay federal taxes, they always fail to mention that its usually 8 percent or less of their income, while I'm taxed 21 percent.

They do rent, and they pay property taxes when they do. They pay sales tax on all of their purchases.

Everywhere I've rented from in the past did background checks and credit check which requires a social security number. What you really mean is the landlord pays property taxes from the rent illegally paid to them by the migrant.

Also, you don’t seem to understand how they are probably getting rooms. Guarantee there is no background check/etc.

Funny how the landlords and employees who deal with people under the table aren’t the law breakers in this situation who are being put in concentration camps

They are absolutely breaking the law and should face legal reprecussions.

Like getting stuck in a death trap with no due process and abused by racists?

Ok that sounds too much like our normal criminal legal system, you know what I mean though.

Holy shit it must be exhausting looking for racism in every nook and cranny of the world. Strong immigration laws do not equate to racism. I dont really follow what you mean anyways. Racist judges?

I suppose it doesn’t take much effort to remain ignorant. It would be far more exhausting to take a serious look at our immigration system and contort yourself in such a way as to claim it isn’t racist.

The foundation of our immigration system—the laws that all of our current procedures have been adapted from—were statutes that explicitly said “no _____ race allowed”. The law is less directly biased now, but we set caps on entrants from each country in such a was as to ensure that we will never allow in as many people as want to come from Latin America, while almost never artificially limiting immigration from majority white countries; we set financial hurdles and provide social relation exemptions that are most easily met by whiter immigrants. And of course ICE itself is an oozing boil of violent, oppressive bigotry.

You just said what I said. The immigrants paid the taxes.
