The real reason your taxes are high is because of… the bears!
No, freeloaders are the not white ilegal imigrants. White imigrants are great!
edit: adding the s/ since some people here are old and don’t get it
Ok so if “white” is a color but nobody is actually “white” does that mean that we have solved racism? Finally realized that everyone just has a slight shade of brown difference?
WOW! I love living in the early 2000’s! Fuck you all and your flying cars you 3000’s assholes! Sure I’ll die in this millennium before we meet aliens from outer space, but at least I don’t have to purchase oxygen in plastic bags on a daily basis from Trump-Tesla, your friendly oxygen company!
I was sceptical about the lack of sources so I DDG’d it:

Office depot you said?
Stupid question: If undocumented, how are they verifiably paying anything close to this figure in taxes? Pls respond
They can request and may be assigned an individual tax ID number (ITIN). Having an ITIN may allow them to open a bank account. It also makes it so they pay taxes which a surprising number want to do. Since they want to stay in the country, having a long history of paying taxes is a way to show you don’t want to cause trouble and you just want to work. Hell, a lot of them probably know they got Al Capone on tax evasion and don’t want to end up like him. Here’s a report I just Googled, and possibly the source of the number which is an estimate.
On the other side is how much tax funding is used on them. Here’s a report from the House of Representatives which states they use more in services (Medicare, WIC, sending kids to school, etc) than they pay. I can’t speak to how accurate the report is considering the makeup and views publicly expressed by members of the committee. I’m personally leaning towards ‘they don’t, and can’t, use as more than they contribute’ because they’re not eligible for many benefits.
I love how in your last article it’s a human centipede ouroboros
Macgregor said that “every alleged asylum seeker, illegal migrant pouring in through the border in Texas or wherever else” is given a monthly payment of $2,200.
Gheen added that ALIPAC “did not make the original claim about the $2,200,” pointing to Carlson’s interview with Macgregor as its source.
Macgregor cited an article published by a Houston radio station on its website to support the claim he made during the interview, which quotes Gheen and the ALIPAC release. The article was published a week after his interview.
How would that be tracked as “spent by an undocumented immigrant”?
As undocumented immigrants, they’d be unable to have bank accounts, so all of their payments would be in cash wouldn’t they?
“unable to have bank accounts”
Believe it or not Mexican debit cards are accepted in the United States.
Sensible question. Nobody even knows how many undocumented people are in a country - because they’re undocumented.
This has to be a made up figure. The sentiment might be correct but the data is dubious.
Not all taxes are collected, much of what we pay in taxes is added on to the cost of things.
