The reason Americans say “I’m Polish” or “I’m German” despite having been born in America is because there’s a big culture around heritage, and that’s because America is supposed to be known as the great fruit salad, the “land of immigrants” Fuck ICE

There is a quote from bill clinton that I believe said was: “We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws”.

Or, that’s bc that’s where their lineage comes from and that’s their heritage. People from all over the world are living in America, but coming to America means you consider yourself to be an American and you want what’s best for America. Illegal aliens don’t do that. They hate America.

Why are we arguing over illegal immigrants? Leave it to leftists to gaslight people into thinking they’re not allowed to limit immigration

Illegal immigrants do pay taxes, but they don’t pay ALL of them. Illegal immigration is a net negative on the country. We lose at LEAST 150 billion a year on illegal immigration. That’s 55 billion every year if we’re being conservative. Not to mention how billionaire corporations exploit illegal immigrants. Because those are on the only people who actually CAN use illegal immigrants. They pay them laughable wages, bc they’re illegal, they make the housing market worse, they make almost every

Those are bad numbers indeed, but $1.7 trillion economically generated in a year balances it out for me personally. Also, I agree that illegal immigration is terrible for immigrants since they can’t get better paying jobs, which is why it’s so sad that legal immigration and protection status is also being cracked down on

The “but” completely negates the previous statement, and ICE doesn’t follow the law (unless you are saying that to be anti-ice in which case I’m sorry I misinterpreted your statement)
