Yeah I guess so. No argument other than “It’s racist”, or “We’re a nation of immigrants”. Both of which are easily countered but they always change the subject before you have a chance to.

It costs far, far more to let them stay.

That’s worth the cost. The level of crime will plummet as a result, and illegals are less likely to try to enter and/or remain in Florida as a result of the law.

Cost/benefit analysis makes this a win.

When libertarians make these arguments, they betray that many of them are not ‘American’, but globalist.

Agreed, but you left out a couple items.
Medical care, SNAP, educational programs,
housing, tax rebates. We’re all on the
hook to cover these costs. Not to
mention personal cost of a loved one
killed because some illegal drove the
wrong way on the freeway, claiming an
innocent life..
I miss my cousin, about a mile behind
him, came upon an accident. At 3:00 am.
I was checking his pulse to see if he
was still with us.

The post is from Reason Magazine, which is Libertarian.

They support Open Borders for foreign workers and Amnesty for all illegal immigrants who have not committed a serious crime.

Filthy libs were all on board with murdering our unborn in order to control population. We murdered our future working class and need labor.

Libs are all on board with bringing third world mongrels to do the work. The upshot is that we're now overpopulated.

There is no more stupid demographic than liberals.

NYS is spending about $820 mil a year just on Medicaid for illegals.

Bet FL spends at least that much.

Yes, last I heard 2/3 of welfare benefits are going to illegal aliens with anchor babies. And they get free health care by just going to the emergency room. If you’re a citizen, you have to wait an hour or so in line behind them even if they just have a runny nose.

Can attest to that. Young daughter had trouble breathing from a cold that we took her into the ER. Waited 3hrs while some Spanish only speaking family got in before us. Their kid was even running around the ER. Obviously nothing serious. Infuriates me even now. Which I'm sure makes democrats smile.

It is a complete lie that “illegals just wan to come here to work and support their families and contribute to making America great” ntoh8ng could,be further fro. The truth. 1/4 of them do, that’s it! 3/4 of,them nearly immediately go on welfare and drain the American taxpayer of everything g they can, some to the tune of $45,000 a year as they get every service and perk they can.

Some prison populations are almost 70% illegals in some states, a d the cost, decades ago per illegal to house them in prison, was $125 a day on average. Legal citizens on disability and social security don’t get nearly that much spent on them on average. Many have to live on no more than $20 a day (those who get minimum ss) (of course they get medical, so that goes up a bit, but still doesn’t reach $125 a day... the point being that we spend more on illegals than our own legal citizens. There is no end to the $$ for illegals, but by golly ss is “running out”

Sorry, that should been roughly $100 per day per inmate, not $125

In California, the average cost per inmate is $75,000 per year, and has doubled since 2005. Ny is $69,000 per year. In California, the cost per inmate is more than the cost for tuition to Harvard for a year.

I guess bread and water is expensive these days
