If that is what she meant, then yes, she would be correct as usually those folks are screened well beforehand. Most of the folks committing the crimes and costing our nation a trillion or so per year are illegals. The prisons are filled with illegals (but also there is a sizeable population of legal immigrants in prison also who decided joining gangs was more profitable than the jobs they came here for- but the lure of “easy money” can affect everyone, not just legal Immigrants)
The “Dreamers” (children) came with adults who came illegally and are still here-for a variety of bad policy reasons - from what I understand. Certainly happened prior to Trump so it wasn’t of his making. Trump showed off his immigration policies while President. Nobody did it as well or better except that Ike deserves credit for a very tough approach. The best I expect from Trump going forward is a reprise of his tough, anti-illegal immigration policies aggressively applied...(Plus the Dems intention to make all of these illegals VOTERS must be STOPPED).
I will say though that folks like Obama and Biden just Import people without carefully making sure they are here to work. Obama was big on bringing them into the US, giving them housing, $$ etc, and not requiring them to work. Who knows how many that they approved actually do work and contribute?
recently argued that immigration
immigration?
She means illegal invasion.
Legal immigration has historically been a net positive.
But legal immigration is a tiny fraction of what we’ve seen over the last couple of decades.
DeSantis is nothing but a puppet.
THEY PAY TAXES”
BULL CRAP
They work-—ILLEGALLY-—FOR CASH UNDER THE TABLE—Especially in Construction jobs....where Worker’s Comp costs are so high. Roofing Workmen’s comp premiums are higher than the hourly wages paid. Pay $100 on payroll? Pay wC premium of $105 for every $100 in wages-—that was in 1993.
IF they do manage to get a job===ILLEGALLY under Form I-9====
They fill out a W-4 with 8 dependents-—Been there—Seen that-—Challenged it again & again as a payroll supervisor. When they are getting any level of wages with 8 dependents-—they are NOT paying a dime in income taxes....Fed or state.
BUT they DO FILE a 1040 & then get over $4000 in ‘refund’ due to “Earned Income Child Credit”.
THAT SCAM has been in place as long as the Child credit has been in place.
Again-—been there-—saw that.
STILL DISGUSTED
ASK people in Boise how badly Obama CONTAMINATED that area???
What a DUMBASS!
on the east coast too- Maine was inundated with Somalis during obama reign
Perhaps not, but we gotta turn off the spigot. This lady is talking about ‘streamlining’ the process of bringing them in.
