i think it’s masterful distraction strategy that we’re discussing immigrants in Ohio eating pets as some abstract definition of racism instead of focusing on the *actual* issues caused by an unchecked border (national security and debt, employment, healthcare), and i think we’re all foolish to be falling for it.

Unchecked border? Nani? National security and employment sure, to certain degrees, agreed. How does the border tie to debt and healthcare? I’m curious

non-citizens don't pay taxes in the US? this is an actual question, because if yes I'd have to go find the CPA they use

why not say the actual word? it's a difference of at least 30 million people that rightfully live in the US and pay taxes but tbf the question still stands, bc even illegal immigrants pay some amount of taxes, and it's not clear at all that they actually receive the benefits people say (most these gov programs are for citizens and permanent residents), maybe emergency care but it would be pretty ridiculous to say it causes problems to the US healthcare system
