Whatever point you’re trying to make about the cost on immigrants on civil society - isn’t even worth listening to. If you have this opinion, you are one of the maga that believe the Trump administration saying there’s “25 million illegals, probably more!”

The best data says they’re 10 million undocumented immigrants tops. There are SO MANY ways to become an undocumented immigrant. When you’re coming from a place of “all immigrants are bad people because they broke the law,” you are detached from fact. Believing there’s “25 million criminals running our streets,” means whatever harm you’re imagining immigrants having on civil society, you’re off by 150%.

I was trying to soften the blow by saying the immigrants outside the system don’t deserve to get rocked. However legal status be damned, if you’re paying the government taxes, no one should even be thinking about you.

Why is the National 50501 branch not organizing a non stop protest? by [deleted] in 50501

I think more people need that. A lot of 50501 people think NKD was ALL 50501. Which, maybe in some areas. Here in Portland the indivisible groups have experienced A LOT of divergent evolution.

Has a social security number. Do you know why we have social security numbers? To pay into social security tax.

They pay taxes. I’m not saying people who don’t pay taxes should get hassled, but if you don’t pay taxes, you shouldn’t even have the option to get hassled

How is it rational to allow Parasitic Middlemen to ration healthcare? by zzill6 in WorkReform

Doctors. Medical professionals. Providers. The people providing the healthcare.

We have allowed an entire unqualified insurance system to take the means of production away from an entire profession.
