actual facts
In 2017, FAIR's "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers" report put the total cost of illegal immigration at $135 billion a year, while claiming undocumented immigrants paid only $19 billion a year in taxes. That leaves a net cost to local, state and federal governments of $116 billion a year.

FAIR is a alt-right organization.

If an illegal immigrant buys merchandise they pay the exact amount of taxes you do.

If you want to discuss state and federal income tax, then talk to their employers that are paying them "under the table", those employers have to account for the income generated and paid out so they are paying taxes as well.

There have been lots of studies done on how illegal immigrants help the economy, but of course you don't want to discuss that part. Ask the farmers in Wilkes how they feel about illegals around harvest time.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) currently classifies FAIR as a hate group, citing among other things the organization's anti-Latino and anti-Catholic attitudes, its acceptance of $1.2 million from a racist foundation, the Pioneer Fund, its hiring as key officials men who also joined white supremacist groups, having board members who also write regularly for hate publications, its promotion of racist conspiracy theories, and the white supremacist beliefs of its founder. In 1982, John Tanton wrote "As Whites see their power and control over their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night? Or will there be an explosion." The SPLC issued an intelligence report in 2007, after which they added FAIR to its list of hate groups.

actual facts all right off the internet go look it up

Undocumented immigrants in the United States receive a job, a driver's license, food stamps, health care, housing, education, a "tax-free business for seven years," and "child benefits."

Heya antithesis you must be an illegal immigrant that's OK President Trump is going to give you a ticket back where ever you came from just go to Walmart one Sunday and watch they pay with FOOD STAMPS and that's a Government program or since you being an illegal you think it's a hand out from the good ole USAy


Nope, just a plain old white lady that was born in Wilkes. But what makes me different from you is my ability to read actual facts.

I'll ask you again, when you go to Walmart to stalk Hispanics, have you asked to see their immigration papers? No? Then what makes you think that they're illegal immigrants, other than your ignorant racism that makes you assume that anyone that's not white must be an illegal immigrant?

Can someone tell me if they can with all them illegal immigrants at the border how many would become American Citizens

Roughly 70%:

“People don’t flee their country and go through the arduous trip on foot unless the situation is desperate,” said Gilbert Saucedo, a Los Angeles lawyer who helped organize the volunteers through the National Lawyers Guild.

“I have talked to maybe 100 people today,” he said on Saturday, “and maybe 70 percent had credible cases on the surface.” Yet many lack the documents they need to provide evidence.

Which is nowhere near enough. TnT has pointed out recently that we currently have 7 million more jobs than we have people to take them, so we really need to have 7 million new immigrants, not a few thousand. Otherwise those jobs are just sent to other countries, and then we lose all of the tax money from them.

Go to Walmart and watch they would be getting out of their new trucks wearing their fine clothes going in and buy piled on groceries carts and pay with FOOD STAMPS I don't have prove nothing I see this every week and it's not just one family it's several family's go over to there and prove me wrong

Treecutter, you're way off on this one. Illegal immigrants don't qualify for any type of government assistance:


The flaw in your story is this. You go to Walmart and see a Hispanic person in a nice vehicle, wearing nice clothes, and buying groceries with food stamps.

So we're to believe that you stalked this person from the time they got there to the time they checked out, and got close enough to see how they paid?

And I'm guessing that you asked for their immigration papers?

I tell you what in the year 2017 how much money did the United States spend on illegal immigrants?? It's 130 billion now I wonder why all the illegals immigrants wants to come here and I praise President Trump for trying to keep them out

This was just some nonsense that some GOP Senator said, and it was proven to be false:


The truth is that, in spite of how much Trump has budgeted for border patrol, illegal immigrants still have a net gain to the US of a little over $11 billion.

If anyone has ever been to a 3 rd world country they could understand why they want to come to the USA.I met a young man around 25 years ago that was from USSR on main street in NW.He said that he had never seen clothes,food,toilet paper etc packed so high on shelves in his entire life.When I was living in Germany merchandise was at times difficult to come by.Gas in 1970 in Germany $4.00 per gallon.During the fuel crisis in 1973 the German Autobahns were empty because of the gas shortage on the weekends.

Need to get your head out of your asset before you speak. The only help the mexicans get are the legal ones that qualify. I have heard this bull till it is sickening. Go to the wilkes dds or any others and what you will see a whole lot of is a lot of american crack wh*res and addicts sitting and showing offf their latest tattoos and body piercings to their buddies and how much they paid for them.Yes they may drive new cars and trucks but they got out in the tobacco fields and other jobs that is beneath the americans and earned the money to buy them. It is funny I have a cousin that works in a large grocery store,she has worked there eleven years. She said it is very unusual to get many mexicans with an ebt card....most all paid cash. Remember ....back in the early sixties and seventies the mexicans were being smuggled in here by the upper crust plantation owners and farmers and construction for their cheap labor. The big corporations were paying for their smuggling and paying american lawyers for fake id and green cards all made right here in the usa. Remember what goes around comes around....Remember we came here to the us and took it all away from the native indians anf pretty much killed them out or ruined their lives,And we came as a caravan crossing the ocean....sound familiar?....Then we started buying and selling the black s and chaining them to trees like dogs and beating and abusing them . I try to go back and look at our history and what kind of foot prints we laid before I run my mouth.
