If the current back-biting arguments about whether to legalize, ‘normalize’ as Rubio puts it, or otherwise legitimze these invaders rests on what the additional cost to ‘government’ will be, then we are in deep, deep doo-doo as a sovereign country.
These people, MS-13 Gang of 8 included, don’t even want, won’t accept any conditions such as “the borders shall have been secure for 6 months before any in-country illegal is made citizen”. They say “well, that would delay citizenship to these ‘workers’ indefinitely. INDEFINITELY, did you hear that? Even they quietly agree the border WILL NEVER BE SECURED!
If, IF you irrationally put all that aside and go to their diversionist “government cost” argument, the government is getting and has gotten ALL the damn money they are ever going to get out of these illegals. Government will still get the employer and employee payroll taxes they can’t scheme their way out of, they’ll still have to pay out the EITC, SNAP, WICs, Section 8, and all that other giveaway stuff. If the government thinks they’ll EVER get any income tax money out of these people, they are deluded.
They’ll all do just like they do now - claim so many dependents that their tax bites are miniscule, leaving only the payroll taxes to pay. Net increase? ZIP, NADA, ZED, ZERO, NIL, Bupkiss.
I love the way Cruz figured out a way to implement Rush’s plan to “let them come but they can’t vote for 25 years”. Cruz is even better. NEVER. The Rats would drop immigration like a hot rock.
