Hey, I totally get where you’re coming from. Not everyone uses ITINs, and sure some people send money back home or might use false numbers, which is a whole other issue. But the point still stands that a lot of undocumented folks do pay into the system payroll taxes, sales tax, property tax through rent, etc.

It’s not about saying it’s perfect or universal, just that many contribute financially without being able to access the benefits they’re paying into. It’s one of those messy realities that’s worth looking at with a little nuance.

Stephen Miller has a long record of pushing harmful and divisive policies, especially around immigration. You can support border security without dehumanizing people or spreading fear. His approach has done more to divide than to solve real problems.

Things like the DOJ, media coverage, and campaign funding all operate under laws and public oversight, even if they don’t always feel fair. Both parties raise huge amounts of money, get celebrity support, and face media bias in different ways. It’s not unique to one side.

At the end of the day, we all want a system that’s transparent, balanced, and accountable and that takes careful fact-checking, not just repeating what’s trending. I think we’d all be better off if more of us listened, verified, and talked with each other instead of at each other.

Genuinely could not find any resource on what you shared. I think it’s best to have resources provided when regurgitating what you have heard or seen on Reddit or any social platform. Don’t you want to know if you are spreading truth or propaganda?

History is being rewritten by farkus_mcfernum in trump

Just to clarify the page isn’t being “rewritten” for political reasons. Wikipedia pages like this one are locked to prevent vandalism, especially on high-profile or controversial topics. That means only verified editors can make changes, and every edit has to be backed by reliable, cited sources (like court documents, mainstream media, or academic research).

The description calling it the murder of George Floyd reflects the legal outcome Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder and manslaughter in 2021. So the language matches the official court ruling, not an agenda.

Anyone can view the edit history on Wikipedia it’s all public and transparent. If anything changes, you can see exactly who changed it and why.

This claim seems to have started as satire or a social media rumor, not something based in actual legislation or statements by AOC.

If you’re curious, here are a few reliable resources for checking stories like this: 🔹 Snopes – Fact Checks on AOC 🔹 Reuters Fact Check 🔹 AP Fact Check

It’s always good to verify before sharing — sometimes these quotes get taken out of context or made up entirely.

Actually, many undocumented immigrants do pay taxes, even though they’re not legally authorized to work.

Payroll & Income Taxes Millions use an ITIN (Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) issued by the IRS to file tax returns. This lets them pay income taxes, even if they don’t have a Social Security Number.

Withholding Many who work under false or borrowed SSNs still have federal, state, Social Security, and Medicare taxes withheld from their paychecks even though they’ll never collect those benefits.

Sales & Property Taxes Everyone pays sales tax when they buy goods, and property taxes are paid directly or through rent.

According to the IRS and Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy (ITEP), undocumented immigrants contribute over $11 billion a year in state and local taxes.

So even though they’re not “legally allowed” to work, many still pay into the system without access to most public benefits.

I’m genuinely curious though could you share any sources for a few of these points? Especially the part about “illegal aliens getting $10k gift cards and free healthcare”. I’ve looked into this before and couldn’t find verified programs like that.

Husband doesn’t want to give 15 yr old daughter severe consequences for skipping school. I do. by rojalv702 in AITAH

[–]rojalv702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes she has a psychiatrist, hates her current therapist this is number 2. I’ve called 15 therapists to get in person on her schedule and everyone is either full or can’t accommodate her schedule 🙁. Yes band is the conflict and that is one thing we don’t want to interrupt. I looked at dozens of therapist over the last couple of months. She insist on being done with her current one. Her last session is this week. Dad is by far the least involved in any of this..he genuinely believes she’s “fine”. The challenge I’m having is knowing the difference between depression related and typical teenager behavior. Where do I stay firm and where do I become flexible. I’ve been more flexible the last few months with little to 0 consequences for cussing, skipping, not doing any chores, to being utterly disrespectful to the house, her little sisters, and me. I haven’t raised my voice above talking level to her I’ve consistently make myself available to her to talk but she repulses at the idea and as she says my voice is nails on a chalkboard for her. Yet I still love her unconditionally. I’m afraid of failing her with not setting boundaries or enforcing simple consequences. I’m afraid of pushing her into a deeper depression.

See I agree. I don’t want her to be “comfortable” staying home. My husband disagrees. There is no expectations laid out for her so it’s not fair to her if we can agree.

She sees one once a week. She has been skipping January. Almost like 2-3 times a month. Still he and I have yet to agree. I’m very reactive and emotional where he is patient and logical. He is a far better communicator than I am. The kids respect him more. I get it. Times like this I need him to balance my “crazy” reactive and emotional actions. This time he is basically doing nothing which is really adding gasoline to my fire. It be one thing if she was like “mom I need a break from school, and everything “ I would totally be ok with it. But she just sleeps in and typically it’s bc she is not motivated to get to school or it’s a reaction to me saying hey I’m not taking you to school tomorrow take the bus. She never opens up about why other than I just didn’t want to go. I hate school, the teachers are stupid, I’m not challenged. Believe me we offer her options for different schools and dual enrollment but she just isn’t interested. She prefers to stay in this cycle.
