I don't think I'm racist at all. that being said holy shit some of the stuff I've seen you guys post just over the last few days has been pretty eye opening. now I know where this idea that 'everyone is racist' comes from. it's because you're secretly all racist as fuck and I guess you think most people are similar to yourselves. This is my experience with people who are obsessed with race.

WhoopsyDaisy 09/06/17 5:19:09 PM #104 | dowolf posted... So while I do not have specific numbers, it is generally accepted that illegal immigrants are a net boon to the government's coffers. The reason for this is that they pay taxes (e.g. sales tax, property tax either directly [from owning a home] or indirectly [some of that rent check is going towards that], payroll taxes if they are not being paid under the table [happens a lot -- an employer can honestly say "Well I had no idea he was illegal" because they chose not to ask the question and get away with that, but if they start dodging taxes, Uncle Sam's not gonna be too happy]), but do not have the ability to receive any benefits (as a lazy example, you can't get Social Security without a valid SSN). I've looked around and it seems like the costs and benefits are kind of all over the place. I found a cool site that shows a whole bunch of pro and con arguments along with their sources, so I'll probably be looking through that. https://immigration.procon.org/view.answers.php?questionID=000788 banananor posted... i guess people sort of start with what they can see. kind of explains why people in the states that accept the most federal aid tend to vote against federal aid- they see more being drained than being replaced and make those negative associations with the system Yeah probably, that would make sense if they're focusing on the ones who are already net costs --- senorhousemouse "I feel like you can't be a real person" - OmarsComin |

WhoopsyDaisy 09/06/17 4:16:14 PM #96 | banananor posted... WhoopsyDaisy posted...exactly. I don't have a problem with the government spending money but before agreeing to take on a cost we should at least know what it is. And we have resources that can combat global poverty more efficiently than our social infrastructure. All I have is an awareness of all the ways I've spent the government's money. Looking at the things I have access, to they cost a lot. It's not a BAD thing when people take out more than they put in. It's the entire point of our infrastructure, that people who can't be productive enough to meaningfully contribute to it can still, say, have a smart phone and internet and air conditioning and transportation. Not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer or engineer, but lawfully residing in the US makes it way easier to live comfortably than most places. I don't know if granting all those privileges to as many people as come over is sustainable, and knowing what those costs are is a really important step to answering that question. Peace___Frog posted... WhoopsyDaisy posted...And if you're only focusing on the benefits without simultaneously looking at the costs your analysis will be terrible. Sure, but it's not always to private businesses. My HIV medication has a government-sponsored copay help program.

I suspect a lot of our population costs more to the country than they put in. We've got 11.3 million people in the US illegally, which means 10.5 million more than the DACA people. According to this: www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/04/27/5-facts-about-illegal-immigration-in-the-u-s/ the industry with the highest amounts of unauthorized workers are farming and construction with 26% and 15%. Would replacing that portion with legal residents really cause that much economic instability? I mean it's better for the employers, but if a company is running on such a tight budget that their undocumented workforce is the difference between success and failure they're almost certainly doomed anyway. How much of our tourism industry is a result of illegal immigration? I mean like seriously I'm just asking how much extra they cost our infrastructure and it's like you're afraid the answer is gonna be really high so you just avoid the question. --- senorhousemouse "I feel like you can't be a real person" - OmarsComin |

WhoopsyDaisy 09/06/17 3:40:19 PM #72 | It's not punishment to kick out trespassers and they don't stop being trespassers just because they've been here a while. There's a reason there's a process to get access to the money that government spends on people. And the population of 340,000,000 people can work on more than one issue at once. Avoiding asking questions we need the answers to because they may hurt someone's fee fees is a great way to make existing problems worse. --- senorhousemouse "I feel like you can't be a real person" - OmarsComin |

How much does the government pay in accounting and data science and advertising and other public employees? How much does the government have to pay for emergency services in case of accidents and injuries? How much does the government have to pay for chronic illnesses like diabetes or HIV? How much does that cost in food stamps or other kinds of welfare? How much does that cost our water treatment plants and power grids and garbage dumps?
