> This isn't true, it's a pillar of the USA to harbor refugees and welcome immigrants. It's our entire history. It's our entire identity. All of these dreamy tales are from before the New Deal for a reason. > I dont think so. There's a lot of people in this country, far more citizens than illegal immigrants. The word "proportionately" means something: if you believe that the same percentage of illegal immigrants pay taxes as legal citizens, you are definitively wrong. Legal immigrants probably pay taxes at a higher rate (by systemic design), but there's simply no way this is true for border hoppers. > capital punishment for every crime if you dont have a degree? what are you arguing? Deportation is not capital punishment! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
