A lot of studies over the years have been done on this subject and what you said just isn’t even remotely true.

lt cannot fail to be true. they have high school diplomas or less, and they need schools for their kids, housing, medical care, police and fire protection. i pay taxes up the you know what, and i don’t come close to covering what my town pays to educate my kids. so for many years, i will be a drain. it’s obvious common sense. put down the kool
aid for two seconds, and think honestly. millions and millions of people
with barely a high school education, who have no skills
and don’t speak english, are going to pay their own way? not possible. i saw a study saying that 64% of them receive some form of welfare.

you have this habit, of responding to something that no one ever said.
you do this very, very regularly.

i never, ever said illegals are the only ones on welfare in these numbers. but can we afford to open up our border and allow
millions more to just stroll in, without vetting them? are there limits to how many poor and unskilled people we can support?

you deny that many of them don’t pay taxes? lots of them don’t work for cash under the table?
