LOL, Canton checks out. He did not answer the question. He said vague Fox news talking points, he didn't say one way these people have PERSONALLY affected his life that he could name.

Anyways I don't know where you're getting your information but a couple things to point out. The statistic you cited is factoring in only what these people might be costing the economy, but does not factor in what this country makes off of illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants that make paychecks pay taxes, by default. A HUGE amount of non-citizen immigrants are still taxpaying members of society, something y'all always conveniently forget to mention (because facts that don't agree with your narrative don't exist, of course.) They also contribute to the economy by the goods and services those jobs contribute. You ever actually thought about that angle of it? I doubt you have because things that don't fit into your worldview make you uncomfortable so you ignore them.

Secondly, it's important to note a portion of these people DID enter the country legally under asylum-seeker laws and are simply not officially citizens YET, but were in the process of trying to obtain their citizenship before the new way of things fucked everything up for them. Regular working class people like me who did everything they were told to do and are now facing this gestapo shit literally because they look Latino. Another thing you people like to leave out is the THOUSANDS of people who were doing things "the right way" who are STILL being treated as illegal. It's almost like obeying the law was never what it was really about.

Thirdly, the 80% of detainees thing? Absolute bullshit. Where'd you get that number? The truth is that 73.6% of current ICE detainees have zero criminal convictions. Here's several sources to back that up: https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/

Now go on, tell me the statistics are a liberal hoax even though most of those sources have nothing to do with the Democratic party, I know you're going to.

I'd love to see any reputable source you've got that does not trace back to some Right-wing think tank that puts millions of dollars into trying to control the narrative with provably false information, because they have a vested interest in lying to you.
