so many problems in this country would be ameliorated or outright solved if we taxed the fucking rich and corporate "persons"
how much longer will the people with ALL the money be able to sucker the world into thinking it's the people with NO money who have robbed the country?
Undocumented immigrants pay substantial amounts toward the funding of public infrastructure, institutions, and services. Specifically, we find that in 2022, undocumented immigrants paid $96.7 billion in taxes at the federal, state, and local levels. More than a third of that amount, $33.9 billion, went toward funding social insurance programs that these individuals are barred from accessing because of their immigration status.

I practiced in the tax field for too many years. I can verify ITEP as a legitimate source.
Unfortunately it's still a common belief that undocumented immigrants either work under the table or work under a stolen SSN.
A stolen SSN would still be adding surplus money to social security they cant access.
It's always projection with these people.
Elon Musks problem isn't that he's an immigrant, its that he's a right winger and a billionaire.
This whole “I’m going to use racist rhetoric to highlight the hypocrisy of racists” shtick isn't a win. All it does is normalise their shit, a racist is just going to discard it about Musk because his skin is white and he’s useful to them.
Immigrants took our jobs
That was never really what was actually happening to most people making that claim, at least not in my lifetime.
On the other hand, I now get to factually make that same claim, and this time it's true. An immigrant DID take my job. I had a job I loved, working for a cause I believe in, and Elon Musk took it from me.
While slashing taxes to billionaires and businesses who will bankrupt the nation.
Hahaha. Like anyone wants to go to the shit-hole that America is turning into.
Elon is an illegal immigrant. He overstayed his student visa.
Trump is apparently from Germany so rich immigrants don't count.
I guess ketamine degrades your maths ability…
